I'm lookin to put some meat on my ronal wheels very soon, and I'm stuck between the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, Nitto NT555 Extreme, and Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I'm having a hard time deciding mainly because if I go with the nitto or eagle F1 I'm flat out broke.. but then, I'm the ***** to the wall or not at all kinda person so I wouldn't really mind being broke lol. ~BUT~ if I went with a cheaper tire I could afford a panhard bar or strut tower brace.... you're only as good as the rubber you're riding on though. What would you guys do? Thanks.

 

spend it all on the tires. i'd only go with a panhard bar after getting aftermarket LCA's and poly bushings or if you're lowering your car(an adj panhard). I believe an STB can be good but only after you put some serious meat on the front.

I just installed spohns adjustable panhard bar with poly bushings on my car today. Only reason being as I'm lowering the car with adjustable ride height and an adjustable panhard allows you to recentre the rear. That's really about it. For performance you're better off getting poly swaybar and endlink bushings and/or bigger swaybars.

 

I already have eibach Pro-Kit springs, spohn SFCs, Eagle GS-C 245/50-ZR16 tires... that was a great improvement right there. The eibach springs are also the reason I need/want a panhard bar.

 

I'd take the Nittos or the Kumhos. You couldn't pay me enough to choose Good Year.
