Default Re: what tires?

Lots of info in the Forum regarding tires for Crossfire. Just about all possibilities have been discussed and/or tried by members. Below are a couple of threads you should review before making a decision on purchase.

Official Tire Review Thread

Help With Tire Purchase

You'll find many of us are partial to particular brands and versions. Both Michelin & Hancook are very good tires. Michelins are just too pricey for me versus the benefit I'd get from them with my driving style. And I worked for Michelin in Greenville, SC for nearly 2 years back in the 1980's. The Hancooks are possibly a better value based on price versus performance. And both come in OEM sizes and various Plus 1 options for the rears. (Note: If you want to check out our comments on just about any other tire brand, just do a search for the particular tire brand and you'll find lots of info.)

I'm one of several that like the Barum Bravuris 3 HM from Discount Tire. Tire is part of the Continental family and offers very good performance with great pricing. (Note: Tire is a wet & dry performance tire, and not an all-season version. I don't really drive the Crossfire in the winter much, so really don't need an all-season tire. Keep that in mind when you decide to purchase.) These have recently been purchased by other members and are just now getting our interest. Only issue with the Barums is they come only in OEM sizes for the Crossfire (I don't consider that an issue) and some members like the look of the Crossfire with wider rubber on the rears (I like that look also).

So you've got an interesting decision ahead of you and if you want further info, just ask us. We're all biased in what we like!
