Well it looks like it time to replace the original tires on the SS/SC so I'm reaching out to you all. What are your recommendations and reviews on your new rubbers . Thanks for the help in advance. Erik

 

I love the look of directional tires, but that isint helping you too much. I had Toyo's on my Mustang and they were great.

 

Go to Tirerack.com and check out some tires there...I'm going with the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S (Ultra High Performance All-Season)

im a fan of the stock pirelli's. i would probably just get another set of those.

oh, i also have used federal SS 595 directional tires in the past on the cavalier. loved those too.

 

I think I want the BFG KDW-2s...everytime I hear about them everyone loves em

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be making a deceision soon. -Erik-

 

yea bfg KDW are the way to go they are really good tires

 

I like the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S so far. Lots of people have said god and bad things about them. Only $125 a piece!

 

Check these out. Just my 0.02 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....1=yes&place=55http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....1=yes&place=55

 

Eagle F1's GS-D3 i would highly recomend these over all else for a high performance summer tire.

 

I concur. The F1's are phenominal tires.

 

I love mine.
The Eagle F1's GS-D3 Is also a good tire. My friend has them and loves them.

Don't go with an all season tire if your looking for the same or better performance then the stock tires.

The PZero Nero M&S will suck big time for anything other then winter / crappy weather driving. Its not ment for performance driving.

according to many many many surveyed miles, the stockers are the ones that suck

 

Car and Driver had a big article last year on tires. Our stock rubber was 9 out of 12, Goodyear took first with the F1's, continental and hankook did well to. You should be able to find the article on their website.

 

Sorry forgot to mention that our stock tires are WAY over priced. They retail at $495 CDN per tire . That is over double the price of the hankooks and continentals.

 

errrr , jus realized this thread was from last October ....some of u guys really taking that search button to heart

 

I was looking at that to, I would go with either the Yokohama Parada Spec 2, 225/40/18/.... or the Falken Azenis same size. They are reasonably priced, A little wider (1/4 inch) for traction. Everyone that has either love them.

 

The Nitto 555 ZR-Extreme Performance tires havent been mentioned yet. I love mine!

 

I was gonna go with the KDW2's but they are kinda noisey from what I'm told but are amazing in wet or dry. The Azenis wear pretty fast, but grip like crazy. I might try the Goodyear F1's when the time comes.

 

I heard people are getting around 15Kmiles on the azenis, I think thats preatty good?!!

 

My RT615s have about 10k miles and are at the wear bars.
Im far from what I would consider to be an aggressive driver.

I need new tires and am leaning towards Continental ContiSportContact 3s in a
225/45R18. Ive heard from quite a few people they are neck and with Mich Pilot Sport
PS2s which is saying something.

 

looove these tires ....... a little loud but pretty sticky for the price
the gforce tires are really good but the parada i think are better bang for buck

lol ........ yes this guy probably already bout tires this thread as from october

 

Try the Toyo T1R out. I have them on for almost a week, over 300 miles, and one trip to the dragway. I have to say they just grip and keep on getting more sticky as I'm breaking them in. Far better than the stock Pirellis in handling, launch grip, treadwear of 280, and a hell of a lot cheaper too.
