im deciding on which tires to get for my 92 240sx, but kinda stuck and wouldnt mind some input about each one.

my choices so far are:BFGoodrich Traction T/A H http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...1=yes

Bridgestone Potenza RE950 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...1=yes

or Goodyear Eagle GT-HR http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...1=yes

if anybody has these tires, or has had any experience with these tires, which would you reccomend, or if not these, what tires are good for a decent price?

thanks

Are you going for all season tires because you need to occasionally drive in snow, or just rain? How important is longevity vs grip?

Of the three, the Bridgestones have turned the fastest lap times in both the wet and dry in my test drives. They are more consistant as they wear as well. We have a set of these on my wife's Quest and she loves them. Much better handling and still tame enough for a daily driver as far as noice and ride quality. The BF Goodrich is going to be the next best bet although I was not impressed with its wet traction on the road or on the track. The Goodyear would be a not-so-close third. I would say they're not a bad tire, just middle of the pack. Depending on the size you're looking at, maybe the Dunlop Sport A2, or Pirelli P Zero MS would be the best alternates over the Goodyears. Feel free to contact me directly for more details on all of these.
