What tires do you like?

sensi09 · 01-25-2009, 10:44 PM

Keep in mind that the KDs and KDWs are supposed to be quite loud even when there is plenty of tread left.

^^^ They are. I had a set on my 97 Formula Firebird. I figure if you can hear your tires over an LT1, you're tires are loud.

I'm about at the point I need to replace the tires on my '10 370. Stock 19" Rays. I've had nothing but great experiences with Nitto 555's (solid handling and great treadwear, and a great value for the money), but it appears Nitto doesn't make 555's in both front and rear sizes. Anyone have other opinions for tires of similar quality, treadlife, and bang for buck?

Kenchan, what's the point of calling Alex? Can he get me a better deal on the tires I want?

Also, I love how some of the tires I mentioned earlier in this thread aren't even made anymore.

Does anybody know anything about the Hankooks. I don't track my car, I may do a few mtn. drives but that's all. I want a good tire that won't cost a bundle. Gotta wife back in school getting her masters and can't spend to much was thinking around 1000. Thanks in advance.

I've been very happy with my Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. Overall good compromise between price, performance and tread wear.

Red__Zed · 01-12-2011, 08:04 PM

depends on your price range and usage. we can give more tailored solutions with that info.

No, but everyone is reminded to search.

What about the yokohama ad08..ive heard they have massive grip

Zeester · 01-16-2011, 01:04 PM

Im not seeing the BFG KDWs in a 19" tire size on tirerack.com. Do these even come in 19s ?

Yes they do come in 19's. I've owned several. I think I noticed the other day they don't show but one size for some reason. Call them and see. They were good tires. But after they lose a 50% of tread they tend to be a loud tire. But they doesn't bother me to much as others. But they were a great tire. I'm ordering some Bridgestone RE-11 tomorrow.

Found it, click on sizes and prices. There two types of KDW. These are the ones everyone talks about. BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

FuszNissan · 01-20-2011, 09:02 AM

RE11's if you have the money. Great high performance tires, and excellent traction in rain.

the oem re050 had grip?
