Hey I have a stock gt and I might need some tires soon right now I have dunlop sp5000's between the two sp5000's and avid v4s which would be a better choice.

bfgoodrich is a great tire, i will seriously never buy another brand of tire.
the difference between high and ultra high is the level of "performance". ultra high will have better dry traction but worse wet traction. and the high will have good dry traction but better wet traction than the ultra high if its for a daily driver a high performance tire would be fine. with ultra high u will hydro plane alot |

NO YOKOS!!!!!!! I had your exact situtation. stock 94 gt. no clue what tires to get. I ended up getting full set of yoko avids (i had some jap falkens before 225/50/15) and the ride is **** now with 205/55 (stock). the only thing i love about my avids is they handle like a champ in the rain and the tire life is so much longer than most performance tires (rated at 5xx)
dunlop sp 5000 = 340 AA-A (better ride) yoko Avid v4s = 500 AA-A i think the old tires were called ohtsu or something. i was told they were the japanese version of falken otherwise... i'd suggest you get some ContiExtremeContacts. damn nice tires This post has been edited by Borrazca: Jan 10, 2005 - 4:23 AM |

Donlops are the best in wet cold especialy SP6000 see pics, had yokos I dont think they are better unless they are very hot and dry.
