Default Tires tires tires

I need tires. The ones im looking at are BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, and Toyo T1-s. 96 Cobra coupe, What tires have any of you had experence with and what do you think of them. The only characteristics I care about are Handling and Dry Traction, and wearablity. Wet, and snow, and noise dont bother me. What ya all say?

Interesting question. I would like to hear more also. I would also like to know your experience with slicks as I am purchasing an extra set of rims for my 03cobra. Are there good companies that make slicks for 17-9s? (as I am buying 2 more stock rims)

I bought some Nitto 555. I think they are great! They seem to hook up really well and I get excellent traction on wet or dry roads.

cheep = kelly chargers. A tire that hooks great on dry pavement wont hook worth a sh*t on wet, so if your diriving the car regularly, then get a good tire thats safe in the rain. I ve run gator-backs, pirelli, kelly, firestone, bf goodrich, and michelin to name a few. The best all around tires are the Michelin Pilots, the Bridgestone Potenza ZR 245 series, and my current set of Firestone Firehawk SZ 50 EP. The bridgestone tries were the best, they hooked great and threw rain like jetskis throw roostertails. But for saving money...heres your tire. There are 2 tires there for less than 100 bucks.
