Sticky: The Best Tires? Better wet than any other tire I have tried dry. Launch better with them than with my Nitto Drag Radials. Corner so hard you can hurt yourself.

The Falkens were $450 mounted and balanced as opposed to $600 for a new set of Dunlops. What impressed me the most about the Falkens was how well they handled in wet weather. I've never expirenced any hydroplaning or loss of traction with them. Their handling is even better when it's dry too. The car stays firmly planted to the road in in every situation. Their cornering ability is excellent.

They're also really hard to break loose from a dig. This is with a stock L98 though, so that would probably change if more power is added. Their braking performace in both the wet and dry is great as well. They're supposed to be ok in the snow too, but probably not mounted on our cars though. But I wouldn't know as I don't drive my car when it snows. There may be better tires out there, but for the money, I don't think you can beat the Falken 512's. For the driving I do (average, everyday driving with the occasional stoplight drag and blast down an empty twisty back road) they're perfect.every(I think I got the whole set for about $640 installed, a bit like getting one tire free). twice(And if you have any idea what body work costs, you know that these tires have more than paid for themselves already...) I am running Bridgstone Potenza 730's. They are great wet weather tires,but,beware of going up hills ....... I have Khumo's gonna go on next oh , and how do i get on the board without someone typing first ........

Just located 3 sets of OEM Goodyear Gatorbacks. Problem is ,they are new but 22 years old! Never been on a car, sitting in a tire warehouse in Houston. I have heard about 20-30 arguments about these tires. Are they ok to use or are they too old? The retailer wants me to put them on my 1985 Iroc-Z and give them a try. I told him I prefer not to play Russian Roulette with a questionable set of tires. Sooooo, anyone got a clue as to the quality of these 22 year old tires? BTW, they are 245/50-16's.

I cant seem to find them anymore. a new model came out and features harder tread so it wont grip as good...i'm a bit dissappointed to say the least Originally Posted by BADMAN Just located 3 sets of OEM Goodyear Gatorbacks.

Badman How much does he want for them? I've still got the original Goodyear Gatorbacks on my car. right now im running goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3 and they are unreal, i cant believe how they grip, and i just got subframe connectors in, lowered control arms, eibach sportlines, so cant wait to see how they hook now. My next set of tires will be for longevity and price sake the Bridgestone Potenza re750, they look like an awesome tire and are very well reviewed on tirerack.Frenchton Puppies For Sale In Wi Re: Sticky: The best tires?Cat Adoption Albany Oregon Re: Sticky: The best tires? Epl Vacuum Cleanerslike everyone else says, kuhmo's suck ***.. they have/had a rating of 8ish on tire rack.. my eagle GA's i have now, that are smaller (235 vs 245) and only have a rating of 7.2, out-perform the kuhmo's..

when i had a bit less power, with the kuhmos on, i could burn straight through second gear.. with the eagle GA's, i can only burn to about 5000rpm.. but now i can go through second easy.. heres a little guy i found somewhere Attached ImagesBringing a thread back from the dead! I wanted to let all you guys know that this is a very helpful thread. and am beginning to realize that every situation is different, so how can people review a tire unless they can compare them to their last tire. And even then they are comparing their old worn out tires to new tires. At least with this thread everyone has the same car. Probably different mods and engines but we're not talking about BMW or Honda or whatever. Thanks again guys and keep the reviews coming! We should also be posting suspension/ drivetrain mods and engine size. PS the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval is sounding pretty good.I like the Goodyear Eagles GT HR. There great in the summer with dry and rain and pretty nice on ice down here.

People keep talking about dry-rotting on them but I baby my car anyway so it's wash reguraly and tire shined and i've had no problem.in response to the BFG KDWS 245/50/ZR16's ... Bfg now has a fairly new tire. BFG G-Force Supersport A/S which seems to be ridiculously good on snow, ice, rain, and dry weather. Now this tire goes from around 150-180. Ive found it also for about 135. That is per tire of course, but I have to say, after buying them for my 2002 Camaro, my wife decided that 780 dollars for tires and instalation wasn't too much money after all. "She was opposed to me buying these tires because they were too *pricey*" I have owned 3 camaros to this point. 2 of them 3rd gen's. One 305 Berlinetta and a 305 Z-28 "before they had the 350's ". My camaro now has m just as much power as eaither of the previous camaros "top end less then my old z28 though" and with these new tires, the car handles about 50x better then any other camaro ive owned. my opinion on tires, would be the BFG G-Force Supersport A/S...
