Best Brand of Tires?
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?
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.
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!

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

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.
