IIIRpower Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Posted December 22, 2004 You forgot Falken, Toyo, Cooper, and Nitto.←nahh,..they're in the "OTHER" catagory...actually,..this thing only gave me 10 lines...otherwise this post could run into 2 or 3 other pages.
beachnut Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 Michelin Pilot Sport 215/45/17nice, but spendy
The Stig Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 Right now, Toyo T1-S (215/40/17). Previous tires were Bridgestone Potenza SO3's (same size). The Bridgestone SO3's were superior tires without a doubt.
Kibim Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 Dunlop 9000D. Best tyres i've had yet on the Volvo. Prev set was Pirelli P7000. Not bad, but i realise how much grip I was loosing out on with them since running the dunlops. Dunlops are quiet for cruisin' too.
Patrick. Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 got some stiff, shitty Kumhos on for now, definitely plan on upgrading when these sh*ts wear out
patrick Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 mine and greg's tires sincerely and significantly rape all other tires combined. in a violent fashion too
AnthonyR Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 I've had the Michelin Pilots, Khumo 712's (those two in 205/50/16) and Yoko AVS ES100's and Khumo MX (these two in 215/40/17) and I must say that I like the Khumo MX the best. The ride quality, wear, and grip are all tremendously better than the 712's and they are quiter and grippier (at least in the dry) than the Yoko's. And they were pretty cheap All in all, I will continue to replace them with the MX
patrick Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 MX's are pretty sweet i got to compare those to the 712's i had also.. i do have to say 712's are one of the best for spirited driving in the rain. My last drip up to deal's gap was rainy the first section and there were a few times i thought for sure i had screwed up and was heading into the other lane but they managed to hang on. I bet the MX's are pretty good too My falkens suck compared to them in the rain, but they are alot better than i thought.
