It's about time for me to get new tires for my 8 and I'm looking for suggestions for the best (& most reasonably priced) replacements. Any helpful advice would be great!



Thanks!

goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3



better wet weather handling than so-3, a good amount cheaper than those also, and comparible dry weather handling

The Khumo MX is a great affordable tire, get it in the 245-40-18 size...it's perfect.

FYI, I bought the Fuzion ZRi's for my rear in 265/35-18.. reasonably priced and they definetly stick. Went from a gross oversteer situation to a frightening understeer situation.. which tells me A) the tires are grippy and B) I nee some on the front, too.



Dunno about treadwear yet.

All the reviews I've read on those fuzion's is that they are rice boy tires made for style, and low costs......

In other words, they wear fast?

well, my previous set of tires was Pirelli PZero's on 255/35-18, and these tires stick more than those when new..

Fuzion's work well, and grip like the BFG's used to. Hopefully they dont wear like BFG's do.



It's a good idea to leave the Pirelli tires at the tire store on the rack, if you ever have a problem with them the company does not stand behind thier products, in my experience anyway.

Anybody heard anything about Dunlop's new DZ101 (Direzza)?
