Tire help
I need a new set of tires for my car (275/40-17). Right now I have BFG KDWs but they are so expensive I would like something else that is cheaper but is still a good tire. Also these tires have a protective lip to protect the wheel I would like for the new tires to have that also
Thanks
Thanks

I've got a pair of Nittos NT555 up front and they have the protective lip like you mention, however they go for about $210 a piece. I've got a friend at Discount Tire who can give you a good deal. By the way, how the hell did you manage to wear out the front tires before the rears?

I have had the front tires for 2 years now and the back tires are only 6 months old. I thought about getting the BFGs again but they run $210 a piece too. I'm thinking of going with kumos since they seem to be a good tire and aren't as expensive.

Red,
I've got a hook up at a dealer in Ft.Worth. I'm getting Sumitomo's for 120.00 each in the 275/40/ZR 17's.
Let me know if your interested and I'll get ya the info. I used a set of Hankook's on the patrol car for a full year and they lasted great. Traction was pretty good and the ride was decent....just can't find em anymore. So...I'm gonna death test the Sumi's.

well I went and picked up some tires today. I got a good price on a set of Kumos so it all worked out. To tell the truth I was surprised at how nice these tires are.
