Tires?
Hey everybody,
I'm looking for some new tires for the new wheels I just got. I'm looking for something for day use, non-track driving. Something that will handle decent in the rain and last a decent amount of time. Thanks in advance! GT |

I've been very happy with Michelin Pilot Super Sports, a great all-around tire.

Try out the Nankang Noble Sport NS-20 tires. I'm dead serious.
I purchased them as I just needed a set to last me a couple months until the Spring when I put on my new wheels/tires. I was honestly shocked how good they were, I couldn't tell a bit of difference between them and the high priced Michelins/Contis I usually buy. Great in the rain, little snow, and just wonderful in the dry. I think they cost about 1/3 what Michelin Pilot Sports do. If you're just looking for a street tire, I'd highly recommend the Nankangs. I'll be getting another set of them when the time comes, I was that impressed. You can find them on DiscountTire, they even make a 285/30/19 size which is what I'll be going with in the rear the next time around. |

Very good question/point, that I can't answer. I just sold them with my stock wheels and I only had around 1500 miles on the set. They could surely drop off later for all I know, but my initial impressions were great. They still looked brand new when I pulled them off, so I think they will wear well. I'll definitely find out for sure when I get them for my next set.

I bought them originally because of the lower price point and from reading reviews from the import crowd. Wear is good so far with no abnormal shoulder wear or excessive tread wear. I would definitely buy these again if the price is right.
