what tires should i buy? Most of you guys have said before G-Force T/A's. Those would be awesome, but i need something with a bit better tread life. from what i hear, they wear out after about 18-20k miles. i need something that will last me at least 38k miles. any suggestions?

edit: stock wheels

 

wrong forum. There is a wheel and tire forum, but to answer, i have nitto 555's and they seem to work very well

 

no kidding... i didnt see wheel and tire.. thats sad! show how much of a hurry i was in lol.

 

depends on what you need the tires for? Racing, Drag, Auto cross or just a daily driver.

 

you can rarely have your cake and eat it too when it comes to tires

hard pressed to find tires that last THAT long for cars...if you do, not good for performance

 

BFG KDWS have a 400 tread life rating and a pretty good traction rating, that's what I'm currently running. I bought them used, so I can't say how many miles they've got on them.

 

Thx evil, i'll look into it. ya i know i cant have it and eat it, but i wanna so bad haha. i was suggested to try the firestone indy 500's, anyone have input there?

 

kdws arent that great for high performance driving. hell, i get customers replacing them on their GTO's with only 7k miles on them

 

My wife's Grand Am GT can easily spin the KDWS. I got to rag on, I mean test drive a couple GTOs at the GM Autoshow in Motion last year. The KDWS are very traction limited with an LS1 car.

 

I have had BFG KDW for 8k miles dry traction is great, but my wet traction sucks. If I take of more than 1500 RPM my rear end gets away from, and they still have proper thread.

 

i had the 245/50/16 bfg kdw and they lasted like 18k front and back's which i got about 10k on my bfg dr's for the money i'd rather spend it on the dr's but checkout toyo's they last good and work well also kuhmo's do ther job and last a long time

 

They're doing something wrong.

I'm on my 3rd set of KDWSs and they've always given me 24-26K miles with proper inflation and rotations. I can cut 2.0s with these tires and they're great in the rain.
