      I ride on BFG's but they're Traction T/A's. Very good overall tire.

        I had the BFG g-Force KDW's in 245 on my Camaro and loved them. They stuck like mad and even worked great in the snow with careful driving. Two thumbs up.

          I just got rid of my excellent Yokohama ES100s and now Im running Avon M550 A/S tires. Both have been great tires, and I have no complaints.

          My recommendation - stay within your price range and avoid goodyear. Use Tirerack reviews heavily.

                  IM gonna have to go with REDLiNE on the BF Goodwrench traction T/As. I noticed a Huge difference in traction when i switched to these, i mean like night and day! Plus they are only like $80. Only draw back is they are directional tires so cross rotation is a no no.

                    I've got a set of BFGoodrich G-force kdw tires on the rear end now, finally wore out my kumho superas. night and day improvement over them. If you can afford em, I'd recomend buying them. I'll be putting them on the front soon as my Cooper Cobra ZHP01's wear.

                      Try some Bridgestone Fuzion ZRI's. Relatively new tire but I'd heard alot about them on the boards. Tire place actually recommended them too, without me mentioning the name. SUCH a huge improvement over the factory goodyears. Supercharged V6... and its tough to spin the tires from a stop unless I'm really trying to.

                            I like my Hankook Ventus K104's

                            I got them at cost (100 a piece) and Hankook gives you a hazard program from the factory. The only complaint I have about my 275/40/17's is that they are not nearly as comfortable as my Kumho 711's, but they do put way more rubber on the ground and they are a hard tire. They handle extremely well when its dry...Wet is decent.

                              Fredless, on a scale from 1-10 how do you rate your K104's? My local tire guy has a special with that tire on a black ZO6 rim x 4. Tires are $126.99ea, but with the rims & drop kit (1.5 drop springs. & shocks) he will let me have the tires @ $100. ea, what do ya think? Should I upgrade the tire?
