looking for tires for my 05 RA
I want to get new tires for my RA OEM wheel. wich ones are the best in the market
|
go to http://www.tires-easy.com/start.html and have a look. They also have some reviews on some tires regarding wet and dry braking performance, etc.
|
im looking for grip and endurance any sugestions?
|
anybody who knows here
|
help!!!!!!!!! :helpme:
|
Grip and endurance are two different things. For grip you want a softer tire or lower tread wear. If you go with softer tires they will wear out quicker. Handling comes at the expense of tire life.
|
ok if anyone have a sugestion of a tire you have use let me know, i dont kow anything about tires thanks
|
The best thing to do is decide what you want in a tire. Is it for racing ie autocross, track days, or just for a good performance tire for your daily driver? Will you have any snow of bad weather to deal with? I run Kuhmo ASX on my car. They are a Z rated all season tire so they kind of give me the best of both worlds. They are grippy but also okay in light snow and heavy rain. I figure I will get between 15-20K miles out of the tires. I would just decide what company you will buy tires from and then read reviews on the different tires. Don't worry about asking a lot of questions. You will want to check the treadwear. speed rating, temperature rating, along with a couple other things I can't think of off the top of my head.

Kuhmo ASX's are crap! If you're gonna go more low end (eg. Discount Tire), Yokohama is the way to go.
I've been through sets of Kuhmos.

When I bought my car it had Nitto Neo Gens and they were ok. I have since moved on to what I believe to be the last tire I will ever buy, as long as they keep making it and as long as I'm not autoxing.

what about bridgestone poteza are this any good? or falken ziex?

Does anyone know about the BFGoodrich g-force sports?

There actually is a decent tire out there if you want both long tread life and decent grip. The BFG KDW-2 tires have a 300 treadwear rating, but have very stiff sidewalls and very good dry grip for a tire with such a high tread rating. I will be going back to these tires when my current summer tires wear out.
The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx are currently on clearance at Tire Rack. I have these tires now (as summer tires), decent treadwear rating (240) and grip, but they suffer from a weak sidewall. Not great for autocrossing, however, they did fantastically at a wet track day last year. Finally, I've heard good things from Evo owners about the Continental ContiSportContact 2 tires. 280 treadwear rating but still great performance. |

but with the side wall extending out further than my last tires, the rears clip the chassis if I go over any bump faster than 5 mph. So I'm taking it down to discount tire first thing in the morning and getting the yokohoma s drives. they goodyear's have exactly 50 miles on the odometer since they installed it (im bringing my receipt lol) so they better not give me too much trouble since they put a tire on that doesnt really fit. |
