The Z needs new tires...what to get?

Re: The Z needs new tires...what to get?
Try www.tirerack.com Most of the different tires have feedback from people that have bought them. I like the BFGoodrich Traction T/A tires(high-performance all-season) I would buy them but I just bought a tire/wheel package from e-bay.

I second that. I have the same tire on the stock sizes. When I go up to 17's I'm going with them again. Tread looks attractive,great wet road traction,and I've been going for probably 30k on these ones with still great tread left. The price is VERY inviting,especially for a Z rated tire.

The biggest size the Assurances come in is 225, atleast thats what it was a little bit ago. I think my dad bought Eagle GTII's, he says they offer a lot of grip for his ( my old) 89 IROC.

I am pretty sure that when BFG discontinued the T/A they ended up changing the name to KDW and tweaked the tire just a bit for the better. The Comp T/A came stock on my car and I loved them. In the summer I ended up replacing them with the BFG KDW and I am amazed. They are super sticky going through the corners when pushed hard and were simply amazing in the rain. I drove for 2 hrs in pouring rain at 75-85 and they didnt flinch. Dry traction is just as superior. A little more expensive but you get what you pay for. If you dont have to worry about rain I would reccomend the KD.
