i just wanna know what tires are on your wheels.. i was checkin out the CAR & DRIVER magazine and the tire section was kinda interesting

 

i have neogens..

by far the shittiest tires ive ever had.

 

like this? is it the ZR's? im guessing the tread pattern is a huge deal when it comes to performance.. whats up with neogen with non symmetrical pattern?

 

wtf wheres falken

 

lol.. falken wasnt even mentioned in the magazine.. i kinda wondered that myself too..

 

I have neo gens also- not too impressed so far. Not the very worst tires I've paid for, but I sure liked the Toyo's alot better.

 

Toyo Proxes4, had for over a year with 10 000 miles. Great tires, no complaints.

 

how do kumhos do in the mag...i would never buy them again

 

ventus on stocks over here.

 

werd greg lets rep the stockies!!! im rolling with goodyears wrapping up my 16zzzzz

 

Great tires. Potenza RE-750

 

My 16" tires are: Fuzion HRi's.


My 18" tires are: Sumitomo HTR+ (I couldnt be happier w/ these)


Word to the wise...the Continental "ContiExtremeContact" are HORRIBLE tires...I had 8 out of 10 of them have to be pro-rated because of factory defects in the tire. (the sidewall would split open) I would find 1 or 2 with the defect, pro-rate it and get new ones..then more would go bad, then more, and more...and so on. It finally got to be the biggest BS ive had to deal with..so i just cut my losses and got the Sumitomos.

 

/\ Wow I had em for a while and had no such problems. Not as great as my Potenza's but I have to say I liked em.

 

I USED to have continentals. Worst tires ever.

Now ive got some BF goodrich touring ones.

 

I liked them too...but the damn factory defects w/ the side wall splitting open, coulf of killed me. They were good tires...but the Sumitomos have much better handling/grip/cornering

 

the kumos did horrible.. i guess it doesnt handle well in the rain.. and performance wise on street is bad too... if price is what you're going for the mag suggests hankook tires.. i guess they're the best bang for the buck

 

Pirellis on summer rims but i gotta get some new tires cuz their bald

Michelin (however u spell it) on stockies

 

i might be mistaken.. i might have hankook and kumos mixed up.. dont have the magazine with me right now cause i read it in the library... o well... both korean tires.. haha

Tirerack.com
kumo is about 80 bucks a tire for the ECSTA 711 225/40WR18
Wheelmax.com
hankook is about 130 bucks each for the Ventus Sport 225/40/18

 

i also have goodyear Eagle F1 on the Rays, and Sumitomo ^ same as the pic above.18''

 

i have the toyo proxe 4 on 18" and i previously had on yokohama avid db2... WOW what a difference, so much happier with the toyos, i dont know why ive been buying yokohama, every tire i try leaves me slightly less impressed, except the avid h4s got me through some serious snow with very little problems.

 

michelin on stock 5 spoke

 

2005's Fuzion ZRI's

 

i have the kumho asx and they are their better tire, i guess they are decent, ive just had them wear very fast, even when i wasnt lowered

 

My 16's are Michelen's and my 18's Falken

 

yeah.. it seems like most of u prefer toyo.. which believe it or not got eighth place.. the exact tire name they tested is Proxes T1R.. Third place is Yokohama Advan Neova AD07's.. second place is Continental ContiSportContact 2's.. and first place is.. Drum Roll...

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.. they say the average cost is 169 bucks each.. and this is for the 225/45/17 tire size..

i guess u get what u pay for.. haha.. i have the magazine infront of me right now..

o.. last place btw is kumho ecsta MX's.. same tire size mentioned above..

i always thought kumho was supposed to be hecka good..

thats right, and mine are on the stockies right now!

 

never get kumho...weak sidewalls.

 

18" 215/35/18 nankang n2's theyre pretty good.

 

I got pirellis on the stock rims and i HATE them. They follow every grove or rut in the road. They suck. Very soft, they wear very fast.

I had kumho extas on my accord and they were nice when they were new, but when they got a lil older they went to hell in a handbag.

Im look at michilns, toyos, or goodyears.

 

Michelin for my 16's, Nankang for my 18's
I need new winter tires and I'm not sure if I'm stickin with Michelin....suggestions?
My Nankangs are the shit. I dont think there was much wear at all after takin them off a couple weeks back. And this is after lowerin car with no camber kit. Nice grip

 

Dayton Fuzion ZRI http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...684_4_full.jpg

 

I concur. These are great tires, I've had 2 sets of them on my previous car and will probably be getting them for my cl once my cheap kumwhores are worn out.

 

well.. im not sure about winter driving as in snow.. and im not sure how well nankang's handle overall.. but as for what CAR & DRIVER says.. michelin got fourth place because the handling in wet and dry conditons is similar.. and they say it provides "crisp turn-in response and a gradual loss of grip as the dirver exceeded the tire's cornering, capabilites."

IMO.. u should stick with the michelin's in winter..

 

Falken Azenis...

 

i guess toyos win on the CL board second place is others.. im guessing falken.. and third is goodyear

 

=( i have kumho ecsta supra's! and they handle pretty damn well!!
i love my yoko's i have right now. . . bad ass tires! handling on them are really nice!

 

I've gone through several of these due to the fact that I go over 100 on the interstate & take the on/off ramps about twice the speed suggested on a daily basis.....

The Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S

Love 'em, good grip, 400 tread wear.... what more could we ask for?
