Re: Tire suggestions

I had the V12's and they were good DD tires, same with the Sumitomo HTR Z III's I switched to. I think for this next set I buy this spring I'll try out some new BFGoodrich tires from the same class.

I haven't tried those yet so I can't comment. My v12's in 275's were pretty good for the price. I am going to a tire with more grip next myself, these just don't have what's needed for my car even in 275.

I'll be moving to the new star specs I am sure for next go around, but we shall see. I'd recommend those here but they aren't cheap and I am not sure if they will be as friendly as the other we are mentioning.

One thing to note about the V12's, they seemed to have very soft sidewalls compared to other similar tires. I preferred the HTRZ III's much more. Comparable traction with much more sidewall stiffness, yet still quiet for DD use.

Agreed 100%.

Newest tech tire in the class; The HTR Z III has aged, so has the RE760 (for examples). The new G-Force tires are getting very good industry reviews. Even buying tires in the ~300 treadwear range I'm going through a set per year, so this will be by 4th set of tires.
