it depends how you define best. bridgestone is the most cutting edge
and balanced, hoosiers have unequalled dry grip for quto-x, toyos and BFGs have great dry grip, pirellis are just awesome, and falken azenis represent a great performance bargain. it just depends how serious a racer u are, and how much your willing to trade life and comfort for grip |

what about continental
any feedback on continental contiextreme contact??
I heard these are some pretty great tires I want to get tires that will last a decent amount of time. Looking at allseason tires, no racing in any manner will be done (drag, or other) but fast speeds on occasion. car 1990 Toyota Cressida wheels: 16" Konig Mosoons Tire size: 205/55/16 Sumitomos (in need of replacements) |

I have to give Bridestone/ Firestone some props. They make a T speed rated all season tire and call it Firehawk Indy 500. And it is cheap. Now I am keeping my eye on that tire for myself. Anyone driving on these.

Better Dunlop or the Brid Potenza
I have a set of the Dunlop SP Sport tires and they are some really nice tires. I don't like the Yoko's, Kumhos (Korean) or Sumitomo's. I have used Kumho before (stock tire for the Accent) until one time my left rear tire blowed up while i was driving. Thanks i was at 40 km/h so I controlled the car. The problem, the steel inside the tire lost its consistence and drop out of it.
That's why i prefer the Potenza or the Dunlop. Great grip and design.

my friends kumhos also blew. i think they're not too durable when it comes to bumpy roads. ive tried quite a number of brands and for street i think outright performance is hard to compare so my two cents here is voting for wear, durabilty, everyday/daily driving and handling requirements, price - IMHO i like dunlops..... for bikes its pirelli and metzelers!

I run 275/40/17 nitto 555r's on the back of my mustang and 245/45/17 BFG g-force KDW's on front, it grips nicely. 205/45/16 yoko parada spec 2's on my civic and they grip awesome, especially for how much power I make.

My 2 cents...
I love the Yokohama Geolander A/T IIs on my Blazer. They're quiet, have deep treads (I've put about 10K on them and they still look new, even the red and blue stripes are still visible) and they will chew through anything you touch to them. But that's just me...

My knowledge of the English language has me confused as to exactly what the question is. Perhaps if you tried again.

Re: What is the best tire's make ?
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3.
cost me $180 apeice for 245/45/ZR 17" tires best dry and wet grip of any non racing/slick type tire ever. I've had them for 15k miles with only about25-30% wear. so the should last for 40-50k miles. |

Yep!
Eagle F1 GSD3s are the best tire I have ever experienced. Before I was using some nice Yokohama's, but those pale in comparison to these Eagles. I take corners harder than ever in these tires and have yet to slide at all. Not to mention, one of the best tred patterns I have ever seen. More people comment on my tires than on the rest of my car!
Mine also cost me $180+tax per tire (with installation). |
