New Tires
#1
Picked up my SVT rims yesterday. They have Michelin Pilot tires on them but they are on the wear line so I am in the market for new tires. I know I can choose from 205 or 215 for these rims. I heard the General tires exlaim uhp are excellent tirers from the reviews on here but they are no longer available. I want something with good dry and wet performance but wont break the bank. I will not be tracking my car. Any suggestions and experience?

Depends on your budget. Will you be switching to snow tires in the winter?

No I have seperate rims and winter tires. Under $200 per tire is what I am thinking.

Got a set of BFGoodrich G-force comp 2 from my buddy who works at Donway Ford for a great price. Have seen good reviews for these tires, they do not come with a treadwear warrenty only a 6 year warrenty but decided to give them a try.

I went with the stick 215 size. Post some pictures up I'm curious to see the svts in white. I'm going to document my mileage with these tires, just so other on here looking for tires can see what they are like. It was freezing rain in Barrie last night and they were still gripping the road great, must say they are sticky.
