Running the stockers right now, my rear passenger tire got 2 nails in it, one in the middle, and one too close to the sidewall for anyone to plug. Apparently after looking at the rest of my tires, 3 different tire places said I should at least replace 2, if not all of them, from being worn out.

Now i'm trying to decide what brand and type of tire to get. Of course I want equal, or better performance than the pirelli's give, but still want to stay with 18".

Any recommendations?

I've seen some members with the F1's which look hot, and some others with the srt-4 tires which I love the tread on. lol

I'm in florida by the way, so no need for winter or "all around" tires.

Thanks alot.

 

I love my KDW2s. Gtreat tire for the money and beter then stockers to.

There the SRT-4 stock tires.

Look good to.

What dimensions are on those? The only 2 i've searched for online so far are 215-45-18 and 225-40-18 and I haven't seen the KDW's or F1's.

Maybe I shouldn't look for tires on ebay, but I have and i've run across things like this:

Good price and they look good, but that's the reason for my post :p I don't know much about brand names for tires, and don't know if buying a "cheaper price" set will land me in a ditch somewhere..

 

The KDW2s are the stock tires on the SRT-4s.

Im not sure about size but check www.tirerack.com and Im sure you will find what you are looking for.

I cant see your ebay link right now. IM haveing a problem seeing any other site but this one for some reson.

But If there cheap and there not a brand you have herd god things about I would stay away from them if your looking for a good performance tire.

Ill check that link as soon as I can get this computer working right.

Well seeing as I didn't feel safe driving on the highway with that nailed tire, I went ahead and picked up those Nexen's and...I LOVE them!

The traction is so much better in my opinion, and I love the look of them.
They're 225-40-18, got them on ebay for around $340 shipped from the URL above.

some pics:

Sorry for this one, it was weird seeing my car up like that with no wheels so I had to take a picture..

 

I like the looks of those tires. Could you please go onto a twisty type road at speeds in excess of 125 mph and tell us how the handle. Thanks in advance, just on the off chance the tires don't hold as well as we hope.

 

I dont have roads like that here

 

Thats okay just do it on the on\off ramps to freeways.

 

SARCASAM.. Victory is being sarcastic..

 

No. Well ok, maybe I am but just a little bit.

 

Victory he was going to go do it lol. It really looked like it. I just hope I stopped him before my insurance rates increased again!

 

 

You can't tell what i'm going to do from how I reply on the internet. lol

 

I have always liked the looks and performance of falken tires.
