I like my BFG g-force T/A KDWS tires. I have 245/50/16 in front and VR-50 (discontinued model, but similar to the Comp T/A VR4) in 255/50/16 on back. I love them, great traction.

I too like the BFG G-Forces and Comp T/As.

I do NOT like Yokohamas, never have, never will, though there are many who will disagree with me

You know those tires they take off of cart series Indy cars and then shred so the tire competitors don't get their hands on them?
Those are the tires I want Trust me - you can't bribe those tire mechanics at California speedway for nothing. Every tire serial # is cut off and returned to the manufacturer.

I've run a lot of different tires in the last 175k miles. All have been ZR rated. Price being a factor, the best service and overall performance were from the now discontinued BFG Comp ZRs. I would hope their replacement takes up where the Comp ZRs left off. The worst is my current tire the Falken. Otherwise, I have had good results from Goodyears to Dunlops.

I like my nittos except in the rain.

Goodyears I had on my very first car back in 93, did quite well, however the goodyears that came on my dodge sucked.


Had Yokohamas on one car, held great but wore way to fast IMO

Had some michelan (sp?), for the few months I had them, they did quite well.


Still searching for the :hail: of tires myself.

I have the Kumhos on my Ram Air. Love them in the rain (Texas downpours). Love them when the streete are dry.

Awesome tire. Will have them on the 91 when the maiden voyage happens.

I run Bridgestone RE940 24550ZR16, alot was due to the price, $550 for 4 mounted and balanced, they are great in the rain also and seem to wear better than other ZR rated tires I have had in the past. I did run BF Goodrich comp TA's on my old vette and loved them.
