what is the best tire

[mmadore118]

now we always talk about rims and what size this and what size that, what is the best tire, now i like Toyo Proxes T1R, does anyone have any feed back on how they are.thanks

Love my Nitto Invo's so far, no complaints and a very unique look...

The T1R's are great, according to my brother. He has them on his Lexus IS, 225/35/19 up front and 235/35/19 out back. They are pretty quiet compared to the stock tires on his car (considering that they are an ultra high performance tire), and they have a GREAT grip. Also, he has the Proxes 4's on his 350Z. What he likes most about those is that they don't leave skid marks. Burnouts and drifts (and all the other crazy stunts he does in that car) leave no evidence; but the T1R's handle better. Shouldn't be a big deal unless you are going to race. For my needs, I think the Proxes 4 is a better option because 1) its cheaper and 2)its an all season tire. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Hate to cut in here but mmadore you need to reduce your sig size a bit please. Max of 2 lines of text with an image size of 600 wide 200 high.

No worries, but remember that $80 difference per tire comes out to $320 when you buy all four. The only reason I would buy a set of the T1R's is if the Proxes 4's don't come in the size you need/want. But then again, if you have the extra money to spend, the T1R's look better, and they are Toyo's best street tires.

You definitely can go wrong with the Toyo's.

But if you are on a tight budget and want some pretty decent performing tires, look at the Nexen N3000. For about $100 a piece, they are much better than Kumho and therefore the biggest bang for you buck.

The "best" tires are those which YOU think are the best. There is no absolute answer to this question because everyone has their own preferences in what makes for a good tire. I personally think Falken makes the best "bang-for-the-buck" tire out there. But that's just me and I'm sure many will disagree.

Absolutely. it all depends what type of driver you are and how you drive and the conditions you drive in. For Me, since I do a lot of highway driving, I'm going with the Falken Ziex 912. They have a decent QUTG rating and they are asymetrical which means I can rotate them unlike directionals which can only be rotated from front to back. But like generic said, it's totally up to you.

well i know that its all what we like, but i just wanted to know if anyone heard something that we should all stay away from.

If you have alot of money, then go with these Goodyear Eagle F1 DShttp://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ing=T

If you're like me, then I'll go with these Kumho Ecsta SPT (I got these for my sedan - they look and ride niceee)http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ing=T

Tirerack.com is good site for rims and tires. Make sure you read reviews on the tires

[generic808]

If you want a pretty good balance of performance and tread-life at a good price, check out Falken FK452. Best bang-for-the-buck in my opinion.
