Default What brand tires???

Im gonna be getting new tires soon and I was wondering what kind of tires I should get. There is lots of good brands out there but they all handle differently.....all tires handle different on other cars. So whats the best set of tires I can get for my 90gt? Its my DD and sometimes weekend racer when I feel like going fast on the freeway or something.

Thanks in advance

I love my Kumho Ecstas. I have them on the front only and the help with the curves very nicely.

A recent car & driver magazine rated the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS as the best performance tire. It was tested in both dry and wet weather. I had Bridgestone Potenza RE950 on my 99GT and I really liked them for the weather I get here in Washington.

BFGoodrich G-Force Sports you mean... Ya im probably gonna end up getting those because they have them in 255/50/16. I haven't found any others that were that size, good, and at a cheap price too.

not realy, my buddys dad had them on his 11 sec. grand prix and that car would spin from a 70 roll and a 30 or 40 roll with warm slicks, and they lasted 15,000 miles and if he's in his car he's beating on it hard
