Default Good tires

I'm needing to replace my tires and would like to know what you guys are running? I have 275/35/18 in front and 295/35/18 in rear. I'm looking for a tire that has good handling and has desent tread wear. Please post up what you have and how you like your setups. Thanks

Recommend:

Nittotire.com

Nitto NT05

FRONT: 275/40ZR17
REAR: 315/35ZR17


Then on DRY ROADS ONLY use a set of the below:

Nitto NT05R (Drag Radial)

REAR: 315/35R17

I run michelin tires on my Honda and TBSS. They cost a little more but I think they are worth it. 10007554333 times better than the stock goodyears on the trailblazer

I support the NT05's. They're great street tires. Haven't took em to the strip yet but from what I've heard they're great for the strip. If I had to explain them, I'd say that they are Mickey Thompson's that sacrifice a small amount of bite, for a bit more traction in the wet. and longer tread life. Which is what I need for the wet winters here. I totally suggest them! B.T.W as for the guy ^^^ suggesting BFG KDW's... I had those before the NT05's... a *bit better in the rain but dry traction is not anything to brag about, unless compared to some sumitomo's hah.

Save your $'s and buy Nitto. I buy/sell tires wholesale in San Antonio,Tx. American tire manufacturers are F'in expensive in comparison.
