I'm looking into new tires for my GTA and i'd like to hear what the rest of you have and your opinions on them. my tire size is 275 40 17. just wondering about summer performance tires.

thanks errbody!

 

Micky Thompson FTW

 

I got those size tires on my 99 trans am. I've run bfgoodrich g-force sport tires for a good performance summer tire that does well in the rain too. Tread wear rating of 340 so they arent the softest tire out there but they arent the hardest. I had them on for 16K miles and in a variety of conditions from hot weather to cold weather, rain, snow, dirt They suck in the snow but these cars arent good for that anyway. At 16k miles they still show good tread. I think they would go another 10K miles but I never rotated them so the fronts have the edges worn down alot but center tread is still good.

For the price they arent a bad tire at all. Last a long while and decent traction, very good in the corners, i had a hard time getting that car to spin out/slide when pushed hard and it didnt have a great suspension setup.

I now have nitto NT05's up front and 315/35/17 Nitto 555R drag radials out back. Just put them on 5 days ago so havent really pushed them hard yet. Drag's seem to grip a good bit better than the street tires. The NT05 street tires are directional tires and cant rotate them. They are very soft too. I think they are 140 rated which are max performance tires. I fear they will wear fast for my daily driver but oh well I got them for a good deal.

 

I have BFG G-Forces on my '91 Z-28.

I have a Stock 350TPI and they do spin a bit under hard acceleration, but it's only for a short distance, and when going from no throttle to the floor so I can't complain.

Like was said above, the tires are great in dry conditions, and fare well in the wet. I've put my car through some pretty hard cornering, and they hold on well.
Also, for the price, they are hard to beat.

 

I have a full set of nitto invo's 285/30ZR20 on front and 345/25ZR20 on rear. Its a 200 series compund street tire and a y rating in speed. Its design is a- symetrical but performs well for me even though I barley ever drive the car lol

 

I have a set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Wide Oval's on my z28. Nice tire for the price.

 

I also run BFGs although if you have the bucks go with Michelins...nice and sticky
...I am going to look into those Mickey Thompsons cause I am about ready for 17's

 

I sell them things to rednecks all the time lol.

 

I have sumitomo HTR Z III

I really like these tires. I've had them since August of last year and they are great. Before the HTR III I had bfg g force and they were good for about six months and then they were crap.

 

I am running toyo versado luxury car tires at the moment in a 215/65/15. read the reviews. great treadwear and ride. that is what i was looking for since im a daily driver. I am going to order a set of drag radials for the strip here in a few. I know most people like Nitto tires for performance tires
