Arnold55 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 In need of some new tires and need input on whats good and what to stay away from. The size is 245 40 18, I currently have triangle tires and want something better these wore out very fast but I was in a pinch and they were cheap. I would like to stay around $100-$175 a tire. Thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdshott Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Texas...... Wet dry tires ...IMO No 1 But me paid for this stuff and NO FREEBIES so no brand names (No Free Advertisement ) A SQ head unit 6 5.25 2 X 6x9s 7804 P400.4 4001D 1 34s (Maybe time to change brand) 4 X 15" s !/0 @ 2/0 OFC Wiring :morepower1: :morepower1: ill say it like i always say it. F##K the DD-1. I don't care if you or anyone buys one. (well i do, but that isn't my point) Get an O-scope in the very minimum and learn how to use it or you are just guessing your settings like every other noob. once you master the O-scope then step up to a DD-1 or even better a DD-1 Plus.

philrab Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hate to make a rec without knowing the vehicle type, but I'll take a shot in the dark. Only tire I could personally recomend in that price range is BFGoodrich Super Sports. Had a set on a previous vehicle, worked well, high performance all season and I live in NOLA, used to live in the Beaumont area; you need your wet weather traction. If you could squeeze that budget up to $200 per tire, Michelin Pilot AS3's are freaking awesome. Have them on my Mazda 3, dead silent on the highway, no hydroplaning even at highway speeds, great road manners. They will not tolerate much in the way of ice and snow, but in the part of the country we live in that's not as huge a concern as it is further up north. Continental DWS is another good one, $174 per tire right at the top of your budget. No personal experience, but a lot of guys in the Mazda 3 community run them further up north where they need snow traction. General consensus between us and Tire Rack's tests is the the Continentals are better in snow/ice, Michelins beat them hands down on dry, about even in the rain and for daily road manners. Michelin may have an edge when it comes to road noise. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount. Build Thread 1996 Mazda Miata: Kenwood Excelon HU, Alpine speaker in the doors, Clearwater (miata specific) headrest speakers. 1994 Mazda Protege: Kenwood Excelon HU, Infinity Reference 2 ways all around, 2x RF Punch 10's in ported boxes.
