Tire Poll

[96ninjaman]

I'd go with the BFG. I had Yokos on the BMW and they were :Total-CP: (I've been wanting to use that and this is a perfect opportunity). They are great in great weather, but other than that they suck and they only seem to last about 6 months.

Another somewhat budget tire: Falken FK451. I've had 265/35/18 and 285/35/18s mounted for about 6 weeks now. They are not the best tire you can buy, but the seem to be a good all around tire that will last.

Thanks for everyones input, I've decided on the BFG kdw after listening to you guys and hours of annoying research on tire review sites, and forums

Good choice!

I like my Toyo Proxes.

I like my Toyo Proxes.

made by Nitto

 

[Crzyhrse]

I think it's the other way around. Toyo makes Nitto's.

 

[streetstang03]

it is

 

[Crzyhrse]

One of my friends heard this joke that they make Nitto's from the scraps left over from Toyo's.

 

[streetstang03]

Nitto > Toyos

BFGoodrich g force sports are even cheaper and i hook good...if u got 180 to spend then def. another vote for the BFG kdw

I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3s, 285/40/17 on 17x9 Bullits all the way around. I love em and plan to buy them again. I'm a big BFG fan but decided to try the Goodyears after reading the reviews on TireRack.
Price was $199 each + shipping.

I'm running the Eagle F1's also and they replaced Nitto 555's and the Nitto's DO NOT COMPARE. These hook like crazy. Only tire i've ever owned that was as good was Pirelli's and they cost even more.

Im actually getting them through my tire guy @134.99 per tire. Everywhere else was about $180.

BFG's...

why run stock size tires?

Time to run 285's

 

[§hadow]

am i the only one whos nittos suck (555r). im not really sure how they compare to the stock ones (Bought it with 18in saleens wrapped in nittos) but they cant hold at a punch 15mph or under, nor a 2k launch on a 01 4.6. Granted they are pretty worn and are ran at 40 psi, but arent they supposed to hook better?

 

[streetstang03]

not at 40 psi. drop it down to 20psi and see how it feels they dont even hook well for me at 35psi during daily driving.

 

[wms004]

Ive had bad yokohamas too, but that was like 5 years ago, so maybe times have changed?
also I thought the KWD-2's were not in production

You are probably thinking of the older model KDW.. The new tread pattern is probably less than a year old.

 

[blueovalguy]

Anyone running Pirelli P Zero Nero A/S

I'm running a set on the back of my stang,(285/40x18)
and really like them.

 

[mustangman9812]

I have nitto's now but I will never get them again I dont think, because they dont last long at all. I am going to go with BFGoodrich G-Force Tires next

Im actually glad they only make the traditional tread size in a 245/17 because I really dont like the new style tread they did. I dont get off on tire tread designs like most people do.. + the traditional thread is a better all weather tire.
