Tires?

[auto_x5.0]

My tires are getting low on tread so Im going to buy a new set. Anybody have any tires they really like for daily driving?

 

[eliyarbrough]

I only buy BFG's for mine! Mine are kinda high $, though! I pay for good stuff, good to me that is. BFG KDW TT on now. Am switching to the New Tread design when these wear out.

Right now Im pretty sure I have BFG Radial T/A, but the tread is really low. I was looking at the g-force t/a kdw.

 

[eliyarbrough]

That's what I have. I love them!! I don't really drive in wet conditions any longer. When I did though, they worked great. I love that brand. Buying the new tread KDW's just because I love the tread design!!

I paid $991.21 for my 275/40-17. I bought the road hazard on them, though. That's why they were so high. I buy from Discount Tire in the closest city to me.

Well I have 17x9 wheels and the backs are wide enough for me and the fronts are too wide. Will 295's fit in the back and like 255's in front?

I'm going to be doing the Hankook Ventus K104. Read some pretty good reviews on them so i figured i would give them a shot.

Fir guys running 17x9 all the way around what sizes are you running?

 

[Win]

I have the 01 Cobra's there only a 17x8 but i am going with a 255/45 all the way around. You probably want to go with something similar in size or possibly a 275/40 in the rear and a 255/40 or 45 series in the front.

When these tires wear out, I'll buy these:
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
255/40R-17

I hear they will look fine. Hope so, because I will buy them. When I bought my Cobra R's, I had just bought my new 245/45 tires. I could not afford to change them. I went from a 17x8 to a 17x9. It kinda stretched the tread, not that bad though. It'll be fine.

 

[auto_x5.0]

Well I was thinking 255/40-17 in front and 275/40-17 in the back.

 

[eliyarbrough]

I'm going to have all mine the same. That ways I can rotate them. Can't afford not to.

 

[auto_x5.0]

Yeah I can understand that, but 255's in the back arent wide enough for the look I want and 275's in the front stick out way to much(like 1-1.5 in).

Yeah I can understand that, but 255's in the back arent wide enough for the look I want and 275's in the front stick out way to much(like 1-1.5 in).

The suggested tire for a 9" rim is a 275/40. I would think that would be the way to go then with a 255/40 for the front.

Will the 255's stick out in the front? Because with the 275 I get rock chips way up by my door handle and areas around there from gravel getting thrown up from the fronts.

BF Goodrich KDW 2's 17X9 Wheel 255's

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

I have BF Goodrich G-Force 245/45 ZR17's. I have 34k on them and I am replacing them with Goodyear Eagles on Tuesday, same size. Mostly because the Goodyears are $30.00 cheaper per tire, otherwise I would get the BF Goodriches again.

 

[auto_x5.0]

Did your 245's stick out in the front?

 

[Hoseitdown]

When these tires wear out, I'll buy these:
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
255/40R-17

I hear they will look fine. Hope so, because I will buy them. When I bought my Cobra R's, I had just bought my new 245/45 tires. I could not afford to change them. I went from a 17x8 to a 17x9. It kinda stretched the tread, not that bad though. It'll be fine.

Hey Eli, can you hook us up with a link too see what it looks like?!?

 

[eliyarbrough]

Uh, when I had them on my Cobra R's that was a long time ago. I took pics, but not any of so you could really see the tread. Hold on!!

I just remembers I took these to get my 03's back so I could clean them. I didn't take any good pics of these, but here are like I can't remember what size that tire is. Something I have never seen before though. Like 235/55-17, or something. I know the middle # is 55.
255's:

275's:

gForce Sports for me.

Work pretty good IMO and was the best option when I was looking around. A good mid-range tire when i Looked
