Title: Which tires?
Post by: tireshredder on November 05, 2006, 12:37:14 AM
Well, by the way I slide taking corners, its time to replace the tires.  Right now I have Uniroyal Tiger Paws on, and they are alright, but i was looking around at others.  I'm thinking about Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, but figure asking around is a good idea.  Any suggestions?

I have the walmart special  Douglas GTH 245/45/R17 and they are awesome for what I need them for.

Those are an excellent choice for these cars. They should stick to the road rather nicely, I had them put on my Bird before I sold it.

I'm running Cooper Cobra GTs.  They must have changed the rubber compound because they are night and day difference in the snow compared to the first set I ran (until summer '04 I believe)  Wear pretty well, stick pretty well, look pretty good.

BFGoodrich KDW'S, very good tire, haven't got to try them in the snow though, we don't get much snow in NC
