New tires, what should i get?

mk1993 · December 6th, 2011, 02:15 PM

Okay my sumitomos HTR Z's are nearly bald and im getting new tires with christmas money and wondering what you guys recomend, im getting 275/40/17 for the front and 315/35/17 for the rear(getting 10.5 fr500's for xmas). I want the bfgoodrich KDW 2's so bad but they dont make them in 315, or atleast i havent found any, so what do you recomend? I found four sumitomos in my size for $600 shipped brand new, should i just go with those again? Looking for a tire that will last, grip well, and is also perform well in wet/dry/snow. thanks guys

Have you considered a Nitto if you can't find the KDW2?

btw the KDW2 will not perform well in snow OR cold. Ask me how I know. So make sure you carefully read the information on whatever tire you go with.
