Tires BFGoodrich or Firestone
I had a set of Indy500; they performed well for a UHP for the price, but definitely noticeable difference with the set of Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02s that replaced them.
General G-Max RS or Firestone Indy 500s are solid options aswell with good grip and way friendlier pricing. I ran Indy 500s on my old Camaro and they felt great in normal driving without being loud or sketchy in the rain.
I've stuck with my BF Goodrich Comp A/S 2+. They stick like glue in all weather and dont make any road noise.
Cooper and Firestone make decent tires if you don't plan on tracking it.
Those are good tires but way too heavy at 44lbs vs 24lbs for stock tires.They will kill your mileage and performance. I went with Firestone destination at2 in 235/65 r17. Only a few pounds more (28lbs) than stock and they perform great!
Stock Pirellis were getting a little low after about 35,000 miles and decided to upgrade a bit. Went with KO2s 245/65/17. Love the fitment even more. They’re slightly wider than the stock 225s. Make a huge difference off-road and feels more like a truck when driving.
wife has Michelin Defenders on hers. I put BF Goodrich all terrain ta on mine.
K02s aren't the best on wet/slushy pavement in my opinion. I've had the rear step out on me twice cornering, spin in place at a stop a few times and pretty much guaranteed to get a bit loose on standing water with speed.
I went to them for new tires on my Hyundai, my car had 96k on the originals, the wear was even and they still had decent tread. Guess what, they said I needed alignment.
I absolutely hate using the KO2's. They're a long lasting tire with a high load rating, but that's because the rubber compound is hard as steel. They're outright dangerous in wet and icy conditions.
