I need Tire Recommendation

Tire size is 275/40/zr17 Currently on the wheels are goodyear eagle F1 GS, but they are about shot and I'm not paying $300 a tire.

Whats the best bang for the buck at $200 or less?

Thanks

I like anything BFG, I have used the G-force Sports and just recently swapped over to the G-force Super Sports and I have liked them both. I have wanted to try the KDW's that everyone brags about but I can't justify spending $50 more per tire for them.

I recently purchased a set of the Fuzion ZR-i's, 275/40/17. I can't mention where I got them, as it isn't a forum sponsor, however I paid under $100 ea. for them. So far, I definitely like them

I was looking at the NT555R II Extreme. They seem to have excellent reviews but their treadwear rating is only 100. Although I have a winter vehicle I still put a decent amount of miles on the camaro every year so I need something that will last a little longer than 10,000 miles or so.

If this car wasnt a daily driver I'd def go with them

I'm getting ready to replace my front tires and looking hard at the Firestone Wide Ovals. About $145 a piece and good reviews and ratings. Might have to put the BFG Super Sports on the list to look at too.

I got a very good deal on some BFGoodrich KD's on a website that rimes with cbay. I have also run the the KDWS, Sumitomos, and Fuzions. They are all decent tires and depending on your driving habits some are better than others. If I had to choose all around performance and longevity I would say the KDWS.
Price would be between the Fuzion and Sumitomos. I have not run the KD's yet so I am unable to form an opinion on them at this point.
