Default My Next Set of Tires... Part 1

For the last couple of years I thought the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's were going to be the next set of
tires for my '04 SSB Coupe. Thanks to "herfire" posting about the Kumho ECSTA SPT's I decided to
see how they stacked up with other high performance tires I had considered.

Here are the top seven rated tires that I compared using Tire Racks ratings. I used three figures to choose
my next set of tires...

- overall score
- tread wear score
- price

The top four and how they stacked up according to the numbers:

1. Michelin Pilot Sport 2 ~ 69.8 / 7.5 / $1,156

2. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 ~ 69.7 / 7.9 / $848

3. BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 ~ 66.4 / 7.9 / $808

4. Kumho ECSTA SPT ~ 65.7 / 8.0 / $492

And the last three (sorry, no pics, the forum limit is 4 per post)....

5. Michelin Pilot Sport ~ 64.4 / 6.7 / $1,110
6. Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A ~ 64.1 / 6.6 / $888
7. Continental Sport Contact 2 ~ 61.4 / 6.3 / $848

My next set of tires are going to be the: Kumho ECSTA SPT's !!!
