generally i buy BFG or Michelin, as when i worked in a garage, they were the best wearing, least problematic, and best performing tires for my needs.... Falkens/goodyears/bridgestones wear great tires (assuming they bought the correct tire for their application) but each had their troubles... often times it was customer maintinence, people never aligned, checked pressure, or other random issues... other times it was the tires generally wearing out too damned fast, as seen with most of the newer goodyears, and on a trip to test drive for goodyear, they even told me that they were having some issues with wear... bridgestones just never impressed me for the price, as there was a BFG G-force in the mix that was always as good...
I am currenlty running 235/40/18 tires on 8.5 wide rims all around. I don't know if it's just me but the car feel a lot smoother now
I had them in 245 40 17 on my GTI. I thought they were great! A little loud, but they are cheap tires so I didnt care. I used them as track tires and they wear like iron, and grip very well once hot.
Enkei Raijin 18x8, BF Goodrich g-force comp AS 2 plus
A good option for budget minded summer tires is the Kumho SPT. Long life treadwear rating and decent performance at a great price.
Just put 'em on this weekend. ASA AR2 18x8 wheels from the Tire Rack. Tires are Kumho SPT. They look great in person, especially for the money.
i really like my BFG g-force sports
I liked PS2, it was pretty durable as well. Kumho mx was a pretty good deal for 225/40/18. Grip was good for the price, though a little weak on wet surface.
Over the last few days have had to panic stop twice, and I have to say that I'm very un-impressed by the dry stopping ability of these tires; I expected much better. Have been seeing a bunch more ABS use since these tires too .. for the money, they're not bad, but my money is going to Dunlop next time around ..
I am running 205-50-15's Kumho and it is horrible!!! Luckily these tires I had laying around and no "real" money was spent on them...
