I'm in the market for some new tires and wanted to know which kind of tires y'all feel are the best. I've read the reviews on Tirerack and such, but I want to know what others here are running and what they think of them. Thanks!

Stock or not? If not, I'm a fan of the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S. I've had them on several cars. Great dry grip, great wet grip, smooth and quiet. They're even rated for light snow use...though I've never had them in the white stuff.

Both my xB and my partners Taurus are running Yokohama Avid TRZs - more of a long lasting touring tire but so far so they've been great in every aspect
Heard good things about BFG Traction T/A

I'd go with Toyo Proxies 4...they are the best all weather tire you can buy.

First, it depends on if you're looking for an all-season tire or a summer tire.

As far as high-performance all-season tires, I've been very happy with the Falken Ziex 512s. I've owned two sets, and will probably replace the Nokian tires on our Civic with them.

Summer tires: I have Yokohama AVS ES100s and absolutely love them. Best tires I've owned.

Personally, I owned a set of Toyo Proxies and hated them. Just MHO.

+1 for the Yoko Avid TRZ. Handle well, rated highest on tirerack.com, and cheap.

Go with Michelin or BFGs. They have been around for years and have proven themselves time and time again.

toyo proxes fz4s are nice, and you can get them for a great price on edgeracing.com. they have great shipping times

it always helps to know a size and price range....and if your gonna run them year round or just in the summer..(depending where you live)

i am running fuzion hri's right now, not a huge fan, they cant really handle me, i wanted kumhos, but had to settle, because my tires were so worn and eaten, realy dangerous

JoMac

I have 215/40/17's right now and I will run them year round, we don't ever see any of that white stuff. Sorry for leaving that out. Price doesn't matter. I just want to know what others are running and how they like them.

I run KUMHO's cause I'ma cheap A$$...and never had any troubles...but i also try to run a non-directional tire so that i can cross rotate to get a little more life out of them......some people will say im wrong and thats fine too.....

If they make'em in the size you need, I recommend the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I only got about 5000 miles on the set I had before I sold the car that had them, but they were a great summer/rain tire. Another option would be the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position's, I think they've been discontinued so you may be able to get a closeout deal on them. Great tire!

kumho ecsta 711's
yoko avs es100's
michelin x metrics if your on stock size
yokohama avid h4's

randomsuper

hotbox, i'm looking into picking up a set of 711's. how do they compare to the falken ziex?

TC_by_TRD

kumho ectsa spt are the best they get a good grip i run them in my two front wheels and in the back i run yokohama parada spec 2 but the kumho get the best grip i've ever gotten other than my brothers drag radials lol

OldYeller

I am on my second set of Kumho Ecstas. The first set wore very well. The price was right. I have the same size you have.......

TC_by_TRD

oh and mine are 225/40 18 andi got a hook up with my friend at discount tire co so i got them for 87 bucks each with insurance they are usually 130 or less

hotbox05

i've never had falken s . heard teh falkens are ok.


before I had the 711's I had es100's and i'd say the kumho 711's are by far THE BEST budget tire out there.

J1slim

i run the 711's also the only thing i dont like is that it doesnt have a rim protector and you ca see the edge of the lip....for a few dollars more you can get the AST which has it....
