Best Brand of Tires?
 

I am buying some Asanti AF112's and was wondering which brand of rubber to get? I was think either Nitto, Toyo, Mich Pilot Sports, or something else. I am not really wanting to buy Pirelli Pzero's because I don't think they are truthfully worth it. So what is a good brand for a good price?

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

Try the Goodyear F1 tire. It's a great tire, and a great value.

I just got the BFG KDW's for $850. I like them so far, they are a lot cheaper than the Pilots.

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

IMO the BFG KDW2's are my choice of perf tires. They have a 300 treadwear number, "AA" traction rating and "A" temp. In addition to this, they have a very high speed rating, thus making it a great match for the Crossfires capabilities. :D

BTW, don't know if you care about this, but they have a smooth sidewall, thus making applying tire dressing easier and giving the tire a MUCH better looking appearance IMO!

I'm rollin on Nitto 555s - real nice tire.

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

Could someone tell what brand makes the BFG KDW2's please... ?

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

BFG = BF Goodrich.

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

Thank you.

I can only find the BF Goodrich g-FORCE PROFILER, are these the tires you are talking about ?

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

I'm Using The Toyo Proxes4 Tires, They Are Have Awesome Grip, And A Wicked Tread Pattern. ;)

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

And what brand/models do you all recommend for ALL SEASON?

My next set will be all seasons... about 10k miles from now... but still. ;)

I'm rolling on the factory installed Continental A/S here in Michigan. You can't go wrong with the original equipment tires. I'm pretty happy with them so far, but haven't yet had it in more than an inch of snow.

(1) Hoosier R3S05, R6 compound
(2) Hankook Z214, C50 compound
(3) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

Great race/autocross tires, hardly a choice for street tires. The Hoosier and Hankook are
race tires. The Michelin's are a street legal race tire, great dry handling, but poor tread life.

A good choice for every day performance street tires:

- Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D-3
- Michelin Pilot Sport 2
- Continental ContiSport Contact 2

Read the entire Car and Driver tire comparison or go to the last page for the test results.

If you go to TireRack and research their tests, the F1 also finished in first place.

Oh yeah... Sorry my car only runs on tracks... My bad !!! But if you need good track tires that's my choice in descending order...

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

I thought that was what you were getting at, but added my .02. There are a lot of new
folks here that may have not known your #431 is a race car... ;)

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

Yeah, will I need All season tires since my Xfire is going to be my everyday driver now. I am probably going with Giovanna Sabina wheels.

Re: Best Brand of Tires?
 

+1 for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s. AMAZING tire. I've been using it for a couple years on my cars and love them.
