I need 275/35/19

I do about 500 miles a week. So I will be buying tires allllot.

Im looking at these:

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 $222 each
Falken FK 452 $208 each
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 $198 each
Nitto NT NeoGen ZR $438 both
Nitto NT555 Extreme $444 both
NEW Kumho Ecsta KU19 UHP $320 both

What do you guys recommend? What brand you guys better?

 

i would go with hankook ventus. Alot of people seem to really like them. Best bang for the buck. Ill use the ventus when i get my new wheels. What size wheel are you running at the back ??

 

I have Yokohama's right now. If i'm getting a new one, it's still gonna be Yokohama's.

On your lists, i'll say BFG. I had use BFG a long time ago and they are definitely a good grip tires. Good luck whichever you choose.

 

9.5 in the rear. So Hankook better than the gforce?

 

^ from what ive been reading yes. Its cheaper and it is probably the best bang for the buck

 

ok thanks for the info... anyone else?

I found hankook v12 for $425 shipped for 2

 

I run Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's in 225/40r18's, and they are so phenominal I would never go to another tire unless something tests better head to head.

In low profile it's not rough or noisy, and it needs A LOT of psi to get the good traction wet or dry (minimum 40 psi front cold-38 rear cold) which I don't need to bleed for the trip home from the track.

The reviews on TIRE RACK are very confusing; I don't think people air them up enough to get that really good traction, and say their car is squirelly.

 

Definitely the Ventus V12 if you are to compare it against the KDW 2's. The V12's out perform them in every category. The only reason why anyone would go with KDW2's are because of how good the tread pattern looks. I have some experience with KDW2's and they are LOUD.

 

ok ill get a set of the V12 thanks guys

 

Got them at tirerack. $435 shipped. Ill post review as soon as I get them and in 1000 miles.

 

damn... reminds me why i didn't get 9.5 rims lol 265 tires are so friggin expensive.

 

ya I wanted to go with 265 but way tooo much.

 

If you drive a TON, I can see expensive tires being a good reason to not get wider wheels (if that's what you want). $100-200 over the course of a year or more is totally worth it to look better imo.

 

^your telling me

 

you're*

 

+1 with J##### , you should drive on ur stockies or consider buying some stockies or stock size wheels for that purpose and get tires that have mileage warranty.

 

NEVER lol yeah I didnt think about that. But it will be soon enough when I need another set. How about these? Continental ExtremeContact DW any good?

 

my gf has them on the GTI, and its been pretty great, noise and performance wise, and since it's rated 300aa it shud last a while

 

keep in mind they are considerably more expensive than the tires u suggested though

 

So... Are you using mismatched tires on the front and rear?

 

Yes, the story goes:

This was my old car that I sold 2 years ago. Stupid economy made me sell it. But since then Ive bounced back with a way better job that I had before the economy hit. So I called the owner of the 8 knowing he still had it and said I have cash in hand ill buy my old 8 back. After some months he finally said yes. When I got the car back it had new Nexen front tires. I couldnt find any Nexen 275/265 tires. But no worries next year ill get a nice set. And they will be 265 in the back lol

 

They come in 265 thats why I was asking, thanks for the info.

 

So I took the car to get the tires installed and wow they took 1 hour before getting the car off the parking lot. So I had wify pick me up since I had to get back home to work. Ill pick it up after i log off from work I guess. I got all wet outside putting air so I could take it to the shop. Air kit FTW!!

 

So you got 275/30 or 265/30, right?

 

You realize that tire size is larger outer diameter than stock, right?
