Default Tire Question

What do you all think about these tires, wear wise and traction wise. These are the all seasons. I want these tires to last a little bit longer than my Kumhos Supra's. Any oppinions would help. Looking at 275/40/17 all the way around what I got now.

Check out the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S in your size at $149/each. Better ratings and interesting tread pattern. Looks like it'll handle the wet weather (hurricane season) better with those unimpeded grooves.

the KDWS is an all season basically.


Fuzion Zri's should be considered also, if you are looking for an inexpensive tire that is pretty good.

i prefer the fuzions over the kuhmos personally.

Both BFG and the Pirelli's are good tires. Yokohama AVS dB S2 is also another good tire to chose from as well. A little pricey but not bad. I would use that as a third option. However I would take those prices from tire rack and walk straight into Merchants and have them beat tire racks price.

It is company policy. I have always beat their prices when I worked for them. Tell them that you are interested in brand such and such and tire rack hasd this tire for this dollars. Will you beat it? If they don't call the corporate number and make sure you get the managers name. He will be having a call
