I would like to know what brand of tires most of you are running? Can you give a "mini" review on what you think about them (performance, weather traction, tread wear, etc...) and would you recommend them to others?

Just a suggestion but it might not be a bad idea to sticky a topic like this so everyone would have easy access to this information. It could benefit our growing community.

In anycase, I am going to be looking for some tires soon and would like your opinions.

I'm running on Falken FK452's, 245-35-19. I love them, quiet, sticky as I need, and the price can not be beat. Recommend for sure.

Nankang NS-II , for 19" and 20"s.. the ones for 18's are not as good as they have a lower speed rating! BUt the 245/35/20 are rated to 186 mph... I've done 90 mph on the wet highway on these and they stuck to the ground like glue!

I could only go 55-60 on the stockers on wet roads and they felt VERY uneasy and ready to hydroplane at any moment!

Kumho Ecsta STP here as well. I think they are slightly louder than stock but the improvement in handling is definitely worth it. Haven't driven in rain with them yet so I can't comment on that. Also, they have a very attractive price.

I second the Nankang NS-III have some 245/40/19 and they are AWESOME. Can't beat the price too

Awesome, keep 'em coming guys!

I personally was looking at the General Exclaim UHP's, and from the reviews that I have read they have a good balance between performance and ride quality. I'll probably go with 225/45/18's...Also I dig the tread pattern.

245/35/19 Nitto NeoGen not much louder then stock excellent traction in dry and rain. Ride quality is still good even at that size. price wise not the cheapest but well worth the money. I recommend.
