Buying Tires

Vehicles & Mobility Cars

This is great! Tek Syndicate has a cars section!

Perfect place for my topic.

I'm buying new tires for my car, any advice?

2

Michelin Super Sports are the most popular chhoice.

But there's also Nittos and Conti ExtremeContacts, among any others.

Before all these suggestions, what type of driving will be doing ?

3

To and from work. City streets.

Continental or Michelin are allways good choices.
My dad has currently PirelliĀ“s but he isnt that happy with it.
And i personaly dont like them either.

5

I'm looking at these Yokohama Parada Spec-X (265/50-20)... thoughts?

Which pirellis?

We just put pirelli cinturato p7 tires on our toyota avalon and they are absolutely fantastic.

I was talked out of the extreme contact tires because they do not wear very evenly and they make a lot of noise.

None of it matters anyways because no one really makes 20 inch tires.

Is this a truck or an SUV?

Thanks for the lead, look like great tires. If I was racing (which would be cool) these would work great! But, I am simply driving to a from work. I live a very simple life.

not sure which pirelliĀ“s need to look into it wenn day light.
They are on a merc, they are very flat 18 inch i think,
but they produce allot of rolling noise.
And dont feel that grippy on wet roads.

i put them on all of my cars since they work great in the dry and well in the wet.

however, I do race in time attack events, hill climbs and gymkhana.. and it doesn't rain much here.. even so, good all rounders for the cost. Have pretty descent wear on them also.

I am a big fan of the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo. It is an excellent tire at an affordable price.

Hankook and Kumho would be my pick, since you get a very good tire for a reasonable price. That is for summer tires.
Winter tires are something different, i'd still go with a premium brand such as continental, michelin.

Bridgestone Pole position S-04 is what I currently have and love, they are basically the same as the Hankook ventus V12 Evo's

I have a version of these on my wife's murano and they are wearing great and have good wet traction. Snow traction is marginal and they are loud.
