275/40/17 Tires I'm soon getting 4 new tires for my SS -00. I have the original 10-spoke rims. I want to hear your opinion on different brands. What tires do you recommend? I'm not into racing, just for ordinary street use.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's...
Best tire hands down...they're softer than my motorcycle racing slicks....And they last..I put well over 25K on my last set and they still had a significant amount of wear in them......the only negative is the cost! $220 is what I paid at Discount tire

I agree... I got the GS-D3's on my Z. They're the best tires I've ever purchased for any car I've ever owned by far. I put close to 10k miles on mine and they hardly look worn... seriously.
I think I paid around $203 each from TireRack about a year ago for them.

Since you say you want tires for regular street purposes, I say go with the BFG T/A KDW's. Mine have about 20k miles on them and still have 40% tread left. They're def a good tire for the price if you don't want to spend the extra money for GS-D3's when your main concern isn't hooking at all times.
I also have the BFG kdw they hook preety good for a all season tire but they are way to loud for my tastes. The noise of the road is like 100 times louder than it was with my old tires(continental(sp)) i really can't stand it. I don't think i will be putting these tires on my car again because of it.
