I have to get some new tires for my '65. Does anybody have any opinions on which ones I should get. I was thinking some Toyo Eclipses or maybe Toyo Proxes. I need all seasons. What do you guys think?

On an unrelated note: happy b-day to me, finally turned 18.

Kumho ASX's are decent cheap tires. They're actually harder than most other similar sport tires (ie. Sumitomo HTR+), so they tend to last a little longer.

If you want real performance oriented tires, see if you can find some BFG G-Force Sport tires that will fit. Amazing tires for the price, but don't expect a lot of life out of them.

If you don't drive that hard (most people don't) and want your tires to last longer, BFG Traction T/A's are the way to go. They handle well, will last a good 50-60k if you take care of them (tire pressure, rotations, etc), and they're prohibitively expensive.Plus you get Michelin quality control (Michelin owns BFG). You may alsolook at some of the T and H rated Toyos and Yokohamas.

I have BFG Radial T/A's on my 67fb. They look awesome, as only Radial T/A's can, but technologically they're an inferior tire. Dry traction is mediocre, wet traction is poor at best. When I get around to wheels and tires, I'm switching to G-Force Sports

 

I have had good luck with both the Toyo Proxes & Yokohama AEGIS LS4. They both have good treadlife and and are nice tires.

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza G009's, all season and do really well in ice/snow. They're reasonably sticky and hold the road well, and actually keep my rear planted on the street(mostly) when I jump on it in 1st. A bit noisy, but so far I'm impressed by their performance.

 

Ok thanks guys, I'll check into all of those tires.

 

we have Yokohamas on our 65stang and on 92 XJS and love them....

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Well, I decided to get the Toyo Eclipses and they're awesome. They ride excellent and are a lot quiter than my last tires (Federals). Thanks for your suggestions guys.
