best tires for a firebird

97greenfirebird · #1 08-10-2005, 03:37 PM

ok now that i have decided to go with 18" panther Valera, i dont know which tires to go with. I was thinking about pirelli but i heard that they dont last very long but i dont know if its true maybe bridgestone or michilian. I want to know what the best tires out there are for my car. i'll save up even if they are really expensive
Thanx

well, i dont know about the best, But for mine i got cooper cobra's. They are very nice and hold the road very well. They cost about 100 apiece though, so its expensive to smoke em.

I loved my Kumho Ecsta MX's.
I think my next ones will be BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW's.

how much they cost you

I agree with Mr Luos, the g-force kdw are awesome. I had them on my grand am gt, one of my friends has them on his ss camaro. As for cost, probably around $200 each, depending on what size you are running. For the grand am, they were $135 each and I got about 30k miles out of them, not bad for a z-rated tire.

I think the Kumho were $166, and the BFG were $169.
Remember though, mine are 275/40/17's.

Same as the ss, I think he paid around $780 for tires mounting balance and road hazzard. One thing I loved about them, they are fantastic on dry roads, and even better on wet roads.

Komho's, $118 each, and sticky as hell.

You musta been on the 718's. In which case....they aren't sticky.

Kumho has some good tires out, but those 718's aren't the best.

i wuld say that the best tires depend on what you are doing. my friend had pirelli p-zero and has now pirelli 7000ss 275/40/18 and they work vell overall. but he has a set of city sliks
