hey all,
looking @ buying a new set of sneakers (tires..lol) for the car, and, im thinking about trying a diffrent tire than what i have been. I've been using Falken ZIEX 502's then 512's, since i got aftermarket rims..with decent results. for ~89$ a tire, they were ok. however, once they get some miles on them, they are aweful in the rain. the car hydroplanes all over the place. and with the extra power of the 5sfte, traction is DEFINETLY an issue, ANY time i get on it in 1st or 2nd. so, im wondering what all you guys are using for tires, especially you swapped guys! brand, style, size, list it all! if you just bought them with the rims, that dont count. how many miles you get out of a set would be good if you know that as well. i get about 20-25k out of a set of the falkens.

QUOTE(beastman @ Jul 10, 2006 - 12:51 PM) [snapback]454063[/snapback] Im BFgoodrich KDW 2's and i love them. Their a little bit of a more costly tire but the traction is excellent. Those tires come stock on all SRT-4's, FYI. So i would think they have good grip since the SRT-4 has some good hp numbers. i second the use of KDW2 i've autocrossed on a set and loved them they have GREAT h20 handling and resistance to hydroplaning...my friend has them on his F150 lighting and in the pooring rain he still catches traction with them... |
