Re: Tires...

I've read good stuff about them BUT I'm not even considering them cuz I need a tire for snow as well and have about a $0 income

Re: Tires...

They suck dont buy them. They have weak sidewalls and suck for cornering until your halfway into the turn and the walls are loaded.
I wouldnt waste my money on them and would never go by tirerack reviews again.

Re: Tires...

The tires are awesome when its wet out, have a quiet ride, look mean, good traction overall but im not sure if i would spend the money again. The only downside ive seen with these tires is that they like to follow the lows in the road. They are really good tires but i think you can get by without spending so much and putting it somewhere else on your car. I think the tires corner very well...on my car atleast

Re: Tires...

Dober what do you recommend?

Right now I'm personally leaning towards Firehawk Indy 500's (245/50/16)

Re: Tires...

the only problem with the eagle F1's is their tread life. they were down a lot faster than other tires, prolly cause they are a lot softer than most tires...

Re: Tires...

Any good performance tire is going to be pretty soft.

Ive got toyos on my car right now, they were on it when I got the car. Ive done a bunch of burnouts and drive the car really hard and the rear tires still look great. Ill have to find out the name of them but they handle very well too.
