I have a 2010 Camero with 20" times. Different sizes front/rear. Time for new ones and was looking for recommendation on brands. I live in SoCal so weather isn't an issue. Looking for performance and comfort.

Thanks

Before going into any buying process for tyres just make a check list of the info available on the tires ribs as they are the ones that would disclose the considerations of quality in getting a new Tyre.

Here's a good site for description of tires:

More Info: Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) Uniform Tire Quality Grading is a relative comparison system. Tires are graded by manufacturers in three areas: treadwear, traction and temperature.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear of a tire when tested carefully under controlled conditions. For example, a tire graded 400 should have its useful tread last twice as long as a tire graded 200. Treadwear grades are only valid for comparisons within a manufacturer's product line.

Traction grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on asphalt and concrete test surfaces. As of 1997, the traction grades from highest to lowest are "AA","A","B" and "C". The grades do not take into consideration the cornering or turning performance of a tire.

Temperature grades represent a tire's resistance to heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled laboratory test conditions. The grades from highest to lowest are "A","B" and "C" . The grade "C" corresponds to the minimum performance required by federal safety standard.

I just saw this for the threads on our tires:

CHECK TIRES THREAD DEPTH

GREEN = 8/32 or Greater
YELLOW = 7/32 to 4/32
RED = 3/32 or Less

Gee..... Mike. You indicate you are from Tustin, CA.... but your IP address is from Mumbai, India. Isn't this a bit odd?

I just installed the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. I wanted the BFG but they stopped making the rear.

Good luck.
