New Tires I need new tires. I'm looking at Yokahama, Nitto, Toyo, and Firehawks for my Camaro SS. Which are going to be the best for my car? <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

Re: New Tires Kumho's are good too... I'm running nittos right now... they don't grip all that great but they last a hella long time though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: New Tires What about the new version of the BFG g-Force KDW?

I have no experience with them, but they have good specs and look cool.
A lot of people here seem to like khumo, but I have heard that they can go out-of-round and cause vibration. Has anyone here experienced this?

Re: New Tires Toyo Proxes have the coolest tread. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
But I would go with some Pilot Sports on the fronts and some Nitto drags on the back.

Re: New Tires I had Kumho's and never had any problems, it's a really good tire for handling, wear and wet traction. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: New Tires KUMHO'S SUCK OFF THE LINE...ive only had them for while but i mean they spin easily into second gear if i launch it to hard...if you street race of stage it on the street every once in awhile <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> they will spin... however they do corner awesome..

Re: New Tires You can't go wrong with the KDW's. They hook awesome on the street, and decent at the track.
I can launch at about 2500 on the street with little to no spinning....all my F-1's would do is <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
On the KDW-2, it is mainly an import sized tire. Check them out.
