I've had GSd3's, Nitto 555's (not R's) and Toyo T1r's, the GSD3's were by far the best, I as not all that impressed w/ the 555's but they were still good and I have the T1R's now. I'd say the T1R's are definitely the best in the bang for the buck department.

I had used a lot of them on the list.

Run Firestones right now.

I have had Goodyear Eagle F1's thought they wasn't kinda bad espeically for the money.

The Kumhos can be good. Just get the best line such as the MX and you really have a tire thats 40 cheaper, but godo quality.

BF: I only had there KDWS, and wasn't overly impressed with them. But they seem ok.

Hankook I had was ok, but would go with a higher brand of theres if goign with that company.

Toyo, I thought they could have hooked better for 1100 set of tires, not my fav I had the proxie 1's.

I have heard Cooper makes a decent Z rated tire.

I had some RSA's and them didn't last a two long and when the tread got lower it was like riding on slicks in the rain. The only time I have ever had an issue in the rain was with these tires. Going 15 MPH turned slowley the whole car just kept going becuase of these tires on poor roads. So Never getting RSA.

overal for the money/performance. I love the firestones.

I run BF G-force TA KDW's up front. I love them and thats all I'll run up front. In the back I unfortunately run Sumitomo's right now. For a purely DD they're alright but they don't hook up for ****. I love the nitto 555r's in the 315/35/17. They hook like a SOB.

Bridgestones in the front and BFG's in the rear. Its nice when ur buddy works at a tire shop. PPL are always throwing away tires with 20 miles on them when they get their 22's.
