The G2 Racer

If you've seen me pull into and out of meets, you've heard my tire sweaking. They suck, period. I need to get some new ones now before I do any other mods on my ride.

What tires should I get? They are going on my stock 14 steeles.

Try Kumhos.. Everything I've heard is good and the price is right.

I'm riding on Khumo Ecsta 712's right now (195/50/15) and I can tell you these are GREAT tires...

Wet (don't drive past 130ish and you can be safe) and dry they grip like a ****.. You can heat 'em up nice and easy with a few tire spins to get a lil extra launching grip and most importantly they are affordable.

OK

I was thinking yoko avid t4s. They seem pretty good and I need them to use in the winter. I heard the 712s suck in snow but the Yokos aren't that great either. The price is $79 per tire, $9 for blaencing and $9 for a total of $373.75 at Johnson And Magwood.

i have the avid t4s and i want to chuck them. they dont provide enough grip for my car. wet traction sucks. so if wet sucks, snow must be horrible. and those kumhos...of course they suck in the snow! they're summer tires! holy cow

SiR-Racer

yeah 712's arent all season tires. i have mine on in the summer and they work great. excellent grip in dry and wet. but i wouldnt get those if you want to use it in the winter time!

Then what should I get guys? I need new all season tires.

You need them go to fast?
or you need them to last?
How much are you willing to spend?

Kumho 760 is relatively cheap and it's all season.

Yokohama Avid T4 is a little bit more expensive than the above Kumho 760, but still very afordable

Goodyear Integrity also falls into that price range

I had Michelin RainForce MX4 on my other car b4, snow traction is pretty bad, but damn, donno why Michelin is so expensive and I don't recommand.

Just don't expect too much from all season tires during winter, they aren't that good on snow.

I've got Michelin Pilot XGT H4s on my car and I find them to be a really good all-season tire. And they are quite reliable in the rain and snow too. Not as good in the snow as say the X-Ones, but the XGT is more performance oriented than the X-One.

I would recommend Michelin. I really like those new Pilot Exaltos they have, but they're not cheap. You get what you pay for though.

EL_Sport

I'm running Hankook Ventus H101's on my EL right now (205/50/15). They are all season tires and weren't too bad in the little bits of snow that we had this past winter. I picked them up at Automotive Import Market on Denison in Markham for $400 installed and balanced. Not sure if they make 14 inchers, but they probably do.

imported_Shaun

get yoko avid h4 or v4s.
the sidewalls are stiffer and the compound and construction is different. it is a much better tire than the T4

are you planning on getting aftermarket rims for your car anytime soon?

I have Yokohama T4's 195/55/15, I have no problems with wet/dry gripping whatsoever. They stick like glue to the road, especially in dry roads.
No tire will stick to a wet road, they all slide

actually the side walls on H4 and T4 are kinda too soft. but the H4's do grip pretty well.

imported_Shaun

thank you! someone agrees
oh and in response to the previous poster: ya but i forgot to mention that my tread is 40% left hehe

I'm not getting aftermarket rims until later this year, like at the end of the summer. I need something to use in the winter time, that's why I want some new all season tires now. My current ones suck ***.

GrEeNcIvIc

Why dont you just buy some crappy tires to last you the summer and then when the winter comes around you can get some snow tires, then when you buy your aftermarket rims just make sure they have good traction wet or dry.

99CHB

my take is: get summer tires (or at least high performance all season) for summer and winter tires for winter, so you won't get crappy traction all year long.

I think the smallest 712's come in is 15".
