I've been looking around for tires on tire rack. Been looking at summer tires bc im just going to use my stock yokos for the winter time (i dont drive if it snows a lot)

I'm getting Enkei RPF-1's in a 17x8 w/ a +30 offset. And probably a 225 tire. (if anyone has any better ideas please let me know)

I've been torn between these tires:

If anyone else has any tire recommendations, please let me know. This is an important decision.

Thanks!

 

Who knew getting a set of tires would be this hard??

 

Between those two, BFG > Bridgestone.

KDWs have been one of the top street performance tires for several years.

 

Neither. The ratings for both aren't very good. Pick some better ones from HERE
(FREE SHIPPING from the link I posted.) Personally, I've had great experiences from Kumho for summer tires. GL.

 

Kumho, Falken and Hankooks are better then most assume or expect, don't over look them in your future selection.

 

well what do you guys run/reccomend? i drive hard at times, but i also need something that has good tread life and has good traction in the rain.

 

Neo Gens do fine in the rain,last forever,sticky as can be,and are fairly inexpensive.....feel comfortable driving with them,the BFGs are also great tires but noisey,and last not so long,and rain driving in them when they age is frightening.......

 

my buddy had the neogens and crashed his car in the rain with them. idt i would go for them after he told me that... lol

 

lol^....I have Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires and they are the best summer tire I have ever run. They are absolutely amazing in the rain....feels like your not even driving in wet conditions. Road noise is almost non existent. So far I love my tires. Super sticky also. Out of the 2 choices you gave, I say BFGoodrich....I also recommend Kumho as I've run them before and are good for the price since Vredesteins can be pricey.

 

I have the worst luck with tires. It seems like it all started with a blowout on the highway, and since then I have been replacing tires or getting plugs every month. So I might not be able to help you with what tires you SHOULD buy, but I can tell you what you SHOULDN'T buy: Bridgestone Turanza and Bridgestone Potenza.
