HERCULES HERCULES HERCULES!!!!


not familiar with them.

I like the way Falkens stick but they don't last very long.

Had good luck with my Kumhos....so far anyway.

 

I've heard many praises of Toyo tires, never used them myself so only going by what I've heard.

 

Toyo is the pimp shiz (as they say). Proxes4 or T1-S.

 

nitto neo gens are nice

 

nitto neo gen, fuzion zri, pirelli p-zero, toyo, kumho, and yokohama are some pretty good brands. i think im goin with nitto next.

 

that's right the falkens lasted less than a year from normal street driving. Would like to get nitto neo gens but they are not available in my country. Another question though...thinking about changing to 16's..what profile tires are suitable with out affecting the ride height to much and causing camber problems?

 

If you go up to 16s you can probably go to a 45 series tire (instead of 50) and keep the same overall diameter. do the math here.

I just put 16s on and i think they look awesome.

I think I heard the T1-S has been replaced ny the T1-R

Not to sure though

 

im still loving my Dunlop FM 901s. they wear fine when your alignment is ok, and stick great in dry, good/great in wet. i havent yet experienced snow with them, but in a tropical climate, that doesnt sound like a problem.
