What kind of tires you guys have?

Post by lukewood2 »

Going to get new tires next week, just curious as to what you guys are running?

I was thinking about getting the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Thoughts?

I was gonna go with some Pilot SSs to replace my 20+ year old ZR45s but then right before I pulled the trigger on the Michelins I stumbled upon a set of four new ZR45s.

Can't go wrong with the Pilot SS, spendy but good.

X2. Those Michelins are one of the best tires out there. Worth every penny. When my Nitto NT555s need replacing, I'll be getting the Pilot SSs.

I'm still rock'n the OEM tires on the 93, but I just bought BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp-2's for the Terminator. They are great!

Mine sees very few miles, so I'm still struggling with what to put on it. the BFGs are looking pretty good though...

FYI I got the Pilot Sports. So damn nice. Haven't had a chance to hit the canyons with them, but so far they are amazing.

I like the new G2s as well. That would be my pick over the older 555's
