    I need tires very soon, I'm done to the rubber wear bars and winter is coming up.

    So what I need from is information.

    I wanna know what what kind of tire you run and what company makes them and some insight on them aswell. Like cost and how long you have had them on and how they wear.

    Im looking for ALL SEASON PERFORMANCE type tires for my 2000 GTP.

    Any input would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    aslo im on a buget, so i cant spend over 100 bucks per tire really

    Triple treads on my stock 16's like them pretty well..

    Potenza S-03 'Pole Position' on my 18's in 245/40 18.. Replaced with re050's I think they are.. Pricey, and tread is about gone so not looking forward to replacing them.

    It's probably gonna break your budget but bridgestone potenza g019's are pretty awesome. Had them on my impala when I had it and they wore very well, had very little road noise, and plenty of grip

    dunlop signatures have done me well over the past 15,000 or so.
    cost about $100 per. they wear evenly and seems they also wear fairly slow. great traction in snow, too.

    97 GT - slow, rusty
    93 CTD - more slow, less rust

    Any one got any opinions on these tires?

    Kumho Ecsta ASX

    General Altimax RT

    Fuzion HRi

    Continental ContiExtremeContact

    Also just food for thought. I only drive 6-8k miles per year. So if they only last me 20-25 miles, thats still 3-4 years on one set.

    I have Hankook Optima's on my Cobalt...they are a GREAT tire...then again, I have Pirelli P Zero's on the Bullitt's...which is the factory Mustang tire and they are quiet and hold great to the road when I need them to...even though I hear that Mustang guys hate them. I did, however when I bought my car...had The older model Bridgestone Potenza RE077's or something like that...I can't remember. But they were an awesome tire and netted countless 1.9 60 foots...driver mod

    Click me----> Tire Search Results

    This is a link to TireRack with your exact year/make/model already plugged in and the search narrowed down to all season performance tires. Spend some good time reading through the info and reviews on there. It will save you some $$, and possibly some grief on buying a junk tire.

    I spent almost 2 months reading and learning about different tires for my 03 CV LX Sport before I dropped the $900 for tires. Tires are one thing that I won't cheap out on, but then again won't pay for just the name *cough*Goodyear*cough*.

    I personally have a set of Kumho Solus KR-21's on my 00 GT and they work just fine. I've had them in some snow, slush, and deep standing water and they did good. I have yet to hydroplane with them in heavy rain. Have about 30K on them and they barely look broken in and balanced nicely with minimal weight.

    The fusion hri's are pretty good. The hankooks are great tires for the price. For a great all around tire get a hankook h727 put an ass load of them on at work.

    I got a deal at a local shop on some Falken ZE-329's. I got 2 for the front because they're similar to the Altimax RT's in the rear. The Altimax's used to be on front and I can definitely say that they're a good match. Both seem to have decent dry traction, but the wet traction is where they shine. As far as winter goes, I really couldn't say how they are as I have winter tires.

    Kumho ASX's aren't a bad tire, I just put them on my camaro about 2 months ago and have absolutely no complaints. they get good traction too... On my gt, I have Kumho KR21's and the aren't too bad either...
