New Tires
 

Well I just blew out my pasanger front tire hitting a pothole today, and my tread is pretty low as it is...so I figure I will replace all 4 at once.

Since BFGoodrich doesn't make that tires that I had anymore, I am at a loss of what to do.

I want tires that will handle alright in the rain/snow as my GT is an daily driver, but performance on a dry warm road is also very important.

Tread life is also very important, but I couldn't care less about comfort/noise as my car is already very very loud, lol


Any thoughts?

Anyone have any experience with either

1) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S PLUS

2) GoodYear Eagle GT (this might have been my stock tires, and if so I do NOT want them...cant remember!)

3)BFGoodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S


The Michelins seem great but are a little expensive

Go with the bf

I'd go also with the BF's ... But I really like the Nitto 555's!!!!!

This year I got rid of the Continnental DWS in the rear for winter and got Nitto 555. With the Nitto I have no traction of any kind in snow. But they are great otherwise.

^^ yea I'm going to stay away from Nittos, tread life is pretty low plus like I said, this is a DD car

+1 on the Nitto 555's! I love mine.

Yes, I have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, and I love them. I researched tires for about a month before deciding on these.

These have a 45,000 mile rating. Most performance type tires do not come with an official rating, and from what I read most seem to be in the 30,000 mile range. So for about the same price, these seem to go about 50% further than average.

I read review after review on tires and these consistently got very good reviews both from companies like Consumer Reports and from individual buyers.

They give a very smooth ride, and they handle great (to me anyway) in both dry and wet conditions. The Sumitomos I had before would often start to hydroplane ever so slightly when I'd hit a puddle at highway speeds. Just that little bit that you could feel, if you know what I mean. I have never noticed that happen with these Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires.

I have been very happy with them. Are they the best A/S tire out there? No idea, I haven't used that many of them. But out of the Sumitomos, BF Goodrich, and Michelins that I have used, these are by far my favorite. I definitely plan on using them again when the time comes...

Nitto 555 is what I run up front with the new nitto nto5r out back.
