Shoping for new tires cus i almost died on I95 south last night in CT (i HATE that state) cus they dont know how to plow their friggen highways

so here are my 2 top choices. lookin to spend AROUND 100$ for each tire and the falkens are 87 a piece (for 225/45/17) and the BFG are 130 (same size).

reason why im goin 225/45/17 is because i have no idea just wanted to go 1 more size up then stock i guess. a buddy of mine did that with his tC and said it was so much better....


Falken
Ziex ZE-512



or


BF Goodrich
g-Force T/A KDW NT




any opinions? different tires? (i have the stock Bridgestones that are BALD... as in NO tread what so ever so anything is better then those. [/u]

 

im lookin at this moment..i like the bf goodrich's because of teh tread style sickness..but again 130...the falkens ar enice also and cheaper..i really dont car efor spending money so i would go for the bf's...i love the tread style bro

 

G-force... fo-sho!!!

 

G-force, but when i got my new konig rims i had them rapped in the New Kumhos and i love em

falkens it is. looks like the BFG are summer only... i thought it said all season in the description.

w.e. i need tires that can handle, wet, dry, and snow, and seen as how the Falkens got a 3 in the snow for the 1010 reviews thats good enough for me

 

BFGs are the only tires i have ever been satisfied with...

 

bfg's are great for all weather conditions.. kdw = key dry wet
but good choice on falkens, better price

 

thanks, ill let everyone know how i like the falkens :D

 

Khm!

Falken Fk 452 FTW!
i bought it $100 per tire.

 

I have my Falkens (Ziex ZE512 225/45/ZR17 on the stock rims) sitting in the basement until April or so while my winter tires are still on. IMO they're good tires, much better than the stock Turanzas were (those would squeal, and had very bad rain traction).

But they probably wouldn't be so good in this:

(that tread is Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 in 195/65/HR15 on steelies; those are staying on until the snow, the mud, and the potholes start disappearing; probably mid-April)

 

Being that i am from Texas the only snow I see comes a cup with different flavors! So i really cant tell you which performs better in snow but I have a set of Gforce's and they're good in the rain and great when its dry.

 

g-force looks like they'd get more grip. so g-force.

 

forget....g'forces got nothin in the snow. i have em on my car. kuhmo asx's may run the same price? also...when you go up a width like you did to 225....you're gonna lose some snow traction....if you really care about the snow then stay at 215. if you want performance for the summer then 225. lastly, toyo proxes 4's are the best tires ever made and they're all season. think about it. they're worth it.

 

falkens

 

G-force AND THEN a set of snow tires for the winter

NO all-season tire will perform UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES as good as a dedicated tire. period.

Oh, and "Toyo Proxes 4 are the best tires ever made" is not only the biggest overstatement, but WAY opinionated. Best at what? everything? Really? So they stick in the dry better than an R-compound slick, and stick better in the snow than a studded chained tire? REALLY?? MAN I GOTTA GET ME A SET OF THOSE The Proxes have a softer sidewall than the competition and are unpredictable at the limit of handling, I'd call them decent all-seasons, but again, they're ALL-SEASONS - so they're already a step down from other options.

If you're really all that lazy to not be able to swap your wheels twice a year (or don't have enough money to buy 2 sets of tires) then go with the all-seasons, but you are making compromises.

I don't compromise when it comes to tires.

 

he asked for one set of tires, at approximately $100 per tire. last i checked, that didnt equate to 2 sets of tires. all-seasons are therefore the way to go.

 

thanks for the sarcasm. didnt need that here.

and like tC_skier said, im lookin for 1 set of affordable tires.

and im goin with the falkens.

 

falken fk452 FTW.... dont buy it if u want to use it in snow
