Are these good tires?
So I am in need of new tires for my 02 GT which is my daily driver year round. Im down to 3 choices right now
1. Continental ExtremeContact DWS - $121
2. Kumho Ecsta ASX - $105
3. BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S - $127
Just wonder what opinions you guys might have on these tires; what good or bad things anyone has experienced or heard of. I like the ratings of the Continental tire best, but I like the price of the Kumho. When I get my tax return I will be getting tires. I live in North Carolina so a little bit of light snow in the winter which these seem to be ok for.

I'd say there is a reason the Kumhos are lower - and from I have heard, it's not worth the savings. Go with 1 or 3. Or someone else with chime in with a more knowledgable opinion on tires - what size do u need?

I would agee that the kumhos would be the least performer of that group. I would suggest the continentals, they have better ride quality and wet traction than the bf goodrich do. They would also be better in the snow.

I have the Continental ExtremeContact DWS on my daily driver G6 V6.
These tires handle dry really well and I'm a very aggressive driver. When I floor it off the line in the rain, it has very little spin, then hooks and goes. These tires work great in the snow too. Best all-season tire I've used. I highly recommend them! Only complaint is they tend to follow grooves on the freeway which gives a slight wiggle feeling sometimes.
I hated the car with the stock Hankooks, and felt it was dangerous to drive if the ground was even a little wet. My wife refused to drive it after she almost crashed in the rain at about 30mph. My lifted Explorer could corner at higher speeds in any conditions. Changing the tires made a HUGE difference!
