What do you guys think of Pirelli tires?

Or the Kumho Ecsta 712s?

These will driven ONLY in the rain/dry pavement. Rims changed for winter driving. DR's are not an option

 

I have P7000 on both cars. Works great to me. Not the best traction I've ever seen, but very good. Thread life is very good too. Drivable in snow

 

Why not post questions about tires on "Wheels and Tires"? All you are doing is forcing valid LT1 Engine Tech problems to the bottom of the page faster.

 

This is the Wheels and Tires page bro

 

Thanks for the help.... but it was originally posted on LT1 Engine Tech, and was moved here by the moderator.

Hope that clears things up "bro"

 

Sorry Injuneer... I am just used to coming LT1 Tech.

 

LOL!, hate when people call me bro

 

No prob Injuneer. I meant nothing by it.

 

Yep.... its a real put down.

 

Chris,

Which Pirelli were you thinking of?

 

M to S?

My friend is looking for an awesome set of tires and he keeps thinking Pirelli. He doesn't use these tires in the fall/winter so its only rain/dry pavement. He is looking for 235/40/17

 

How does he drive the car?

 

I've been researching tires for over 2 weeks now.
And I've got 4 options.

Best all around tire according to the ratings are.
pirelli nero-zero m+s
eagle F1's
bfg g-force
yokohama

Cheapest to most expensive were
yokohama
bfg g-force
pirelli nero-zero m+s
eagle F1's

My choice would have to be the pirelli's due to excellent traction in wet and dry surfaces and it has the lowest noise level, best ride comfort and longest tread wear.

Hope this helps.

 

I like the Ecsta 712s. I put them on my woman's car and she hasn't wrecked it yet so they must have some traction. The sidewall is nice and stiff, even a 245/50/16 on a 16x7 wheel the sidewall doesn't bulge much. I like the way they look.

 

He drives the car hard... He is trying to get his car to hook in first when flooring it. Without DR's
