Thread: What brand/style of tires are you running?

Currently running Nexen N3000 245/45-18 on 18x8.5 +35 Stern ST-1 wheels. Actually quite happy and impressed for a low cost tire. I always loved my Dunlops on my old GTPs. Also had Firestone Firehawks and Pirellis. All decent tires.

Currently running BFGoodrich Traction T/As on my hi-po 5 stars for winter.

On my Helo Slicks, BFG KDW 245/45/18 in the GenII tread.

I think the tires on your Helo Slicks could qualify as "slicks" though.

LOL, currently, yes. I'm probably going to throw them on for the holiday dinner.

235/55/17 Pirelli Pzero nero on all 4 corners i really really like them, compated to the stock rsa junk.

Com on guys tires are the thing of the pass.. i just hover around town in my gp

The kind that need to be replaced.

245/45-18s on my 18x9 Bullitts

What used to be 245/45/17 Nitto 555's


For those that are using the Federals or the N3000 hows the sidewalls. Are they stiff enough or do you wish they were stiffer and you wished you paid more for a better tire with a stiffer side wall. WOW im not sure how I won't get flamed for saying stiff so many times...LOL But seriously!

Don't regret the N3000s at all. I've paid $300+ per tire and now I've paid well under $100 per tire. Haven't really found any faults with them and would say they are near, if not equal to much pricier tires. The difference in price is not an indication of difference in performance, handling, and ride. Wet/dry grip have been great, cornering has been as good as the Firehawks I had on it previously. If I was going all out or it was a purpose built car I would probably spend more, but my GTP is a summer only cruiser that gets some spirited driving and road trips with a drag race now and then.

245/45/18 N3000 on ADR's

235/45 R17 93V on Konig 17" rims on car now

7801Monteman, I love my Federals as well. The side wall is actually pretty stiff. I like it better than some nittos I've tried.

235/55/17 Pirelli Pzero Nero on the stock SS wheels. Not exacty what I wanted, but needed tires really bad and got them for a steal. $280 for the set, shipped.

Thats good to know I think that is what I will end up using this year. I wanted a cheap tire that also handled nicely.

Lexani n3000's, the same tire and tread design as nexxan n3000. I just got a deal from my buddy on them. They are a really good tire, other than in the fresh fallen super slick snow on the road.
