Poll tires recommendation
Hello, I know this has been hammered to death but is there a way in the forum we could setup a poll to see what our fellow members tires they like best.
I think it would be really good because many online tire companies have very few reviews and stars for feedback. Not trying to start a thread but not sure how to contact to set one up or if anyone would be interested,. |

Anything but Pirelli PZeros......they wear out so fast and they suck in the rain.

Like best for what conditions? You can setup your own poll...

Tire rankings are difficult to pin down. You almost have to be a bit more specific as there are tires designed for the track, some are all weather some are summer only. An all around decent tire with good wear ratings might be terrible at the track. While your Summer only tires are great until the temps drop below 50 degrees or you hit some wet conditions.
Like mentioned above the P Zeros wear quick and aren't great in the rain. They are a summer only tire. If you want something with a better tread life and wet weather conditions you can find a better tire. But with 400+ horsepower you might not want a tire for performance reasons that is harder (longer tread life). |

I got 30,000 miles out of my P Zeros and live in a place where it rains constantly... and they do fine.
So there you go, that's how subjective any kind of tire poll is going to be. |

^This^. I don’t get that many miles out of my PZeros, but I don’t bitch about it because my driving habits wear out the tire. They’re incredible tires. Only one of two tires I’d feel safe on over 100 mph. The other being Pilot Sports.

I got 40,000 out of my P-Zero's. Reason I am changing them is that they are worn, but not bad. Just started to get a lot louder. Really depends on how you drive on them. If you are aggressive, they won't last as long......and I don't drive in the winter....just can't.....NO traction.

Comp 2 A/S. I've had mine to 153mph. Good grip for an all season, better than the pirellis and Sport Comp 2 imo

Had the Pirelli Pzeros, but they are very expensive and wear out fast from my experience. I just switched to the BFG 2 A/S and they seem to handle great so far. We'll see what I say after winter though....

Here’s one article. I’m looking for any info on the BFGs but I can’t find any. I just can’t imagine going 150 on a tire they sell at Walmart.

Depends on what you will be using your car for and what the weather is in your part of the world.
