So I need new tires soon which sucks cus im saving money for home interior stuff for when my house is built. I can totally go and get the pirreli rubber again but I would rather get something better that last as long if not longer. so what are my choices? so far I am coming up short with searches but a friend recommended general exlaim uhp tires which according to tire rack are incredible tires that last a long time offer great performance compared to the rest of the comp in the same uhp category and are not pricey at all. is there a recommendation for tires? im looking for something just like the stock tires cept better performance

 

bf goodrich is a really good brand of tires

 

im rocking kumho ecsta spt 225/40/18 and they are really nice.

these are aparently superior to the kumho tires check it out

http://www.tirerack.com/tire-12/Gene...laim+UHP.shtml

notice the number 1 rank in the category ... aparently these are the best you can get

 

this is a review

i believe negative reviews over positive. anyone could make positive, even employees.

who makes negative except those who had experienced?

 

yeah I read that one but if you read a few more you'll notice a 400hp srt-4 guy praising these things.

 

well hell WickedSS and I saw the exact same tires off the SS on an 800+ supra at dyno day but we know SS guys feelings on the Pirellis

 

It all depends on what you want.....what do you want to spend, how much performance do you want, what kind of traction (wet, dry, both). Personally, I am sold on Bridgestones. I went to their test facility in Texas and drove the slolom on a wet pad. Goodyear, Michelin vs Bridgestone. It was alot of fun.
I've been using Bridgestones for several years and I love them. All of the performance tires I bought were exceptional in the rain and their Blizzaks can't be beat in the snow.

 

ack so much info out there. first I read that the exlaims are the best and are even ranked that way then I see the kumho tires are better

 

y u tellin us go get some

These are new and super cheap! so if there not all that great you wont be out of money.

 

Nitto NT 555's , I've got them and love them!

I bought them for $146 a piece and couldn't be happier. Don't buy Pirelli rubber. **** is well over $200 a tire.

 

my Kumho Ecsta SPTs cost me $109 a tire

 

Nitto Zeo Gens they are the best tire ever sticky and long lasting i wanted something with great tread life and something that would perform. i did hours of research and these tires are the ones. they are the most underrated tire out i paid 115 a piece (i got the hook up) they are usually 130 a tire for 215/40/18 u wont regret buying this tire

 

i think he meant Neo Gen. Buddy has some on 20s and they are alright wearing faster then my SPTs

 

I bought these guys from Tire-easy.com. Seem to be ok so far, have about 300 miles on them. The definately hook better than the stockies. And they were only 68.50 a tire.

yea thats it!! i love my tires i only got two for the front they hook up great!! and the treadwear is twice as good as my pirellis.. i was gunna get the kuhmos but i've heard bad things about em dunno if they're true but didnt wanna take the chance.. im glad i got the nittos they are badass, not to mention great in the rain

 

Ive always liked cooper tires.

 

Quoted for truth. Try out the Cooper Zeon 2XS, a great tire that is also made here in America for those who care!

 

I've had these tires on my car ever since I picked up the Rotas

however I can only compare them to Kumho Ecsta 711's...

on tread rating alone I would recommend them, if you're looking for a cheap performance tire that lasts a while you've found the right one.

 

has anyone tried the pzero nero?

One thing to note - the General Tire doesn't come in the OEM size, at least not on that website, and the Kumho does. 225/40 is pretty close, though, but not exact. I'm considering both of those when the time comes...although I'm still doing pretty well on the stockers.

 

215/35ZR18 XL
225/40ZR18 XL

those are the two closest sizes to the stock tire so either of those should work right? i mean it's only a 1/4 of an inch difference

 

225/40 is about as close as you can get. 215/35 is way too small.

For instance, if speedo reads 65 mph, your actual speed will be about 63.6 with the 225/40 tire, and 60.7 with the 215/35 tire.

 

if I went with the 225/40 tires couldnt I just go get the ecu recalibrated?
