I have an 04 limited, the tires are original and completely worn out. Ready for a new set.

What brands do you recommend for crossfire?

What do you guys use and what are you most satisfied with?

I need tires that are durable and have longevity.

I'd like to stick with 18s in the front and 19s in the back but might consider a wider tire but not one that would look ridiculous.


Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

 

I got the goodyear eagle f1's they are the best tire ever!

 

Kumho Ecsta SPTs are a great value for the money and have GREAT performance! I'd go for that. Have them on my car and love them.

 

HANKOOK Ventus V12 evo K110 got 275/35R19 and 225/40R18

My choice

 

seeing alot of guys going for 275's on the back. i think this looks good

 

Awsome look got great comments

 

Any pics of the 275'z on car?

 

Here they are

 

I went with Yokohama Advans... love the tires... they look pretty nice on the car too...

245/35R18s in the front and 295/30R19s in the back... my rims are slightly wider than stock though.

 

295 is a beast of a tire. that is what an inch and a half larger than stock

 

i like the rims TimeLord and tires..

 

Thanks for the comliments...

I DO like the grip it gives me on the track and the street... I have a harder time spinning the tires for very long and the lateral Gs seem higher.

You can see I'm even getting some rear wheel lift in the first photo.

Cheers!

 

Those 295's look amazing, I bet they do really grip!

 

Just slapped on some Nitto Invo's...love em..great grip-cool and different tread and not expensive

 

Come November I'm moving to Goodyear Eagle F1's. It came with the Pilot SP2's, but Philly winters can be nasty...too nasty for summer tires. I ran F1's on my Trans Am for years and they are freaking amazing. They are basically all-seasons that grip like summer tires.

I did a price comparo on the F1s in another thread that I'm reposting here:

Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season 255/35 ZR19 96Y XL VSB
Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season 225/40 ZR18 92Y VSB

this is important. the tires made for this car are more of the sports car version and durable and longevity don't usually go with sport. i was looking for a good tire that would last and i went with the kumhos because they were a good price and had a decent treadwear indicator - 380. i looked at some yokohomos that had a 400 but they were $100 more in price. the treadwear number is not an exact science and i don't think it's monitored by any independant lab but the higher the number, the longer the tire is 'suppose' to last. on the other hand, if you are looking for a good tire to stick on corners, it will probably have a lower treadwear number (180) and will not last as long. most folks do not have a good feel for all the tires out there. they only know what they had and what they have and compare that. i had the conti's and now the kumhos. i have nothing bad to say about the kumhos but i only have the conti's to compare them to.

Next I think I'll try the Vredenstein's:

I've also heard good things about the Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's if you can use a thre season tire.

I think all three of these are excellent, and the prices are all fairly friendly.

 

i have the potenza re760 sports and got them as a local bargain tire since i found them in the best deal, and i love them. i came from the ps2's i had stock.

a coworker picked nitto 555's from discount tire and he's very happy with them comming from the continectal all season's stock.

i like mine better, but i haven't driven his car so no fair compairison.

 

UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) the tire manufacturers have a generic tire to use for quality. The base would be 100. The specific tire in question, their tire rating would be compared to that generic number. A tire with treadwear rating of 450 would last approximately 4.5 times longer that that "generic" tire. 450 vs. 100
