new tire siggestions
Alright guys I have My stock tc rims I'm looking to get a good tire that will have enough grip to withstand my power supporting mods.. I have 309whp and 330wtq.. also I'm not looking to spend over $200 a tire.. and I'd like to get at lease 20,000 miles out of them.. does anyone have any suggestions????
Greatly appreciated, Dustin

WE currently have closeout pricing on BFG GForce Rival in 225/40R18 would be worth looking at !

Doc, I buy tires from TireRack and also have been a long time CSS.net member. Do you want the order numbers?
Dustin,
Are you looking for sticky tires? I have 245/40R18 in my LSJ car. They are treadwear 700 and last hella miles. But I am old and like conservative tires now.

Dunlop Direzza star specs. I have them on currently n in terms of grip they definitely don't disappoint. Treadwear is 200 only but they've lasted me 14,000 miles so far(don't do burn outs) n are finally starting to lose their grip. Only draw backs are it costs a little over 200 per tire and they're pretty noisy. Ur call.

Realistically, you're not going to get 20,000 miles out of a 200 tread wear tire on a Cobalt SS/TC unless you drive like a granny. A tire is either sticky or durable. They are on opposite sides of the scale. Also: will you be using these tires in VT winter? If so all seasons are your only option. Summer tires don't like winter. (go figure)

Dunlop 102's they hold well rain or shine. On hot days they grip really good I got almost a year on mine. Like over 15k miles 460 tread wear still look great. Lots of long drives and drag strip trips. Really u have to say do I want race tires that will wear fast cost more and grip more. Or summer tires that will grip a littlr less and last longer for cheaper. you just have to driver mod the summer tires get the grip and WOT. I went threw this last year picking tires.

I have some Nitto Neo Gens on my car and they are pretty great for an all season tire. I have a ZZP PCM on the car and the tires can handle WOT without spinning in the now warmer conditions.

you wont be disappointed with pilot super sports, you can comfortably run 235 because the seem to be a tad narrow in 225. i don't know how much power/ torque i am making but they put power down with my 7163(granted i am on a boost ramp and turned the midrange down a tad) they are absolutely amazing in wet weather right up to about 40%tread.
