So, I'm gonna be getting some new tires soon. Got my IRL's with mostly worn tires on them. For the money, they seem pretty damn descent. Need a good all-season tire. Anyone use them? Lemme know!!

nah I dont like these tires. Bridgestones wouldnt be so bad if they didnt cost so much. Like goodyears, they are WAY overpriced for how they perform.

I have driven with these tires on a Solstice GXP conv and hated them, the traction is really horrid, especially in the rain. I took an exit and had to majorly slow down because I about lost control of the car. It was like driving with bricks strapped to the rims instead of rubber.

I've only used Pirelli P6's and my current Hankook Ventus's on 17's and Pirelli P Zero Nero's and P Zero Rossos on 18's.. The Ventus's are probably my favorite overall thus far, but they're now bald.. lol

I dont really like Ventus.. ride quality seems to suffer and straight line is poor. I am partial to P6's, and P Zero Neros are the ugliest tires ever, but damn they sure do their job. Good traction and long lasting. I put P Zero Nero's on my fiance's 05 Mustang GT and he has yet to shred those suckers up yet. Been an awesome tire!

These are excellent tires. Well worth the money. The only drawback is the fact that they don't have a rim guard on them...

After a few days on these Grids, they're very nice tires. Look great, and have a very good feel. Haven't driven in any downpours yet, but they seem to have excellent dry traction.
