BULLITT Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 for summer only best to least Goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3 (wear faster then all the others but sick traction) Good dry traction. cornering is crazy, noise is min, wear ehh depends on how you drive it, wet control is excel, kinda pricey but wirth the money. Michelin Pilot Sport (very nice quality tire excel traction) very excel quality tire the ride is smooth confortable, has great handling ristics, wear is ok, wet is excel, noise none, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (same as above) bassically smae as above but differant design NITTO invo( very crazy) These tires have a alian type design, looks like something out of the future lol. i would only use for dry roads summer only. wet you might be all over the place. they are not desgined to move water all that much. its a summer only tire. and yes they handle control, speed, noise is a min, looks sick, lasts a good amount. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ( good performance all season but summer only) good all season performance tire. but snow they still suck. but summer tire for a dd driver in rain ruff roads etc. good control, balance, handling, ride quality. wear pattern is longer lasting. BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 ( good control etc wears odder sick pattern)very nice tire. patern is crazy. handing in dry is sick. rain kinda sucks, noise can get loud on highway. wear patern is odd. depends on alignment settings. harder counpound tire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medium fast Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have 295/35 18 BFG KDW's and I love them, the car hooks great and handles amazing. I dont notice any noise on the highway ( might be due to exhaust, or radio) When I need to replace the tires, I will definitely go with these again, unless I go for a slick and skinny setup.

TurboRust Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 is he wanting a 28" tall tire? if so.. why so damn tall?I had a mickey thompson street radial that still hit the fender lip after goign to stock springs. it was a 28x12x18 which would be like a 295-40-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium fast Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 From browsing the Mach forum the other day, running this big of a tire seems to be the popular thing to do. I think it looks absolutely rediculous IMO. If you want traction, go with a BFG drag radial, or a slick setup on other wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
