Firestone had the longest wearing tires and cheapest price, no brainer for me

Not enough information to recommend a tire. What's your use? Making that super saiyan god power? Need high wear or traction? Rain driving?

Basically you have to decide what you want the tire to do. Here in Oregon I went with Toyo Proxes 4 + for about the exact same grip and speed rating but being a all season radial good for shedding water and lasting 2 + times longer than a Pirelli with its 220 wear rating. Compare that to a over 500 wear rating for the Toyos , then a z28 like 70 wear rating..lol Many like the Michelin sport pilot series of tire also and there are of course lots of brands, its best to read up on the reviews of various tires.

Wearing Firestone Wide Ovals 275's for my fronts. These tires are great, quiet, great grip.

Wearing Nitto NT05 315's for my rears. These are great also, especially for SoCal. They straight suck in heavy rain, though.

One of the best looking tires for our rides I think are the Goodyear Eagle F1's. If they made 315's in them, I'd already be wearing them. I think the widest they go is 295. However, a Goodyear 295 looks almost as wide as a Nitto 315. For some reason (I'm sure explained here recently), not all 315's are created equal. Some manufacturer's 315's look much wider than others...

When I replaced my P-Zeroes, I put on Nitto Motivos.. Great tire, not as sticky as the 0, but at least double the wear life. Never had an issue with them.

You have many very good options.. Stick with a good brand and it's really hard to go wrong.

sscamaro · 12-11-2015, 10:49 AM

I replaced mine with BFGoodrich: g-Force Sport COMP-2 tires.
