Its time to replace the original set... so i want to get the best all around tire I can find...

primarily want the best tire for wet traction, braking, and dry cornering.

i want some element of ride smoothness and longevity... but those are secondary ...

trying to choose from:

-Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3

-Yokohama AVS Sport

-Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

-Bidgestone S-03 Pole Position

-Khumo ECSTA MX


or some other tire you may know...
price DOES NOT MATTER...

wheels are 7.5x17 in front and 8.5x17 in rear... whats the widest i can go on these sizes?

thanks.

 

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s... no questions asked. A remarkable tire indeed!

 

I have Gs-D3's on the rear, I enjoy them

 

I've had all of these on my car at one time or another:
-Yokohama AVS Sport
-Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
-Bidgestone S-03 Pole Position


The S-03s are by far the best tires in terms of grip and wet performance. They tend to wear out kinda fast though. Second would be the Yokohamas.

 

i've seen 275s on an 8.5" rim. They were bulging like hell and really only good for drag racing. So, unless you like a lot of sidewall flex, 225s on the front and 245s on the rear will fit very nicely.

Toyo T1-S has been rated by 9-10 magazines as the best all season performance street radial!

 

Don't get the Michelin, worst ever. Get some Nitto NT-555's Extreme Performance from www.discounttiredirect.com
