I need some new tires soon and I have 245/45 18 up front and 275/40 18 out back. It's my daily driver and I want some decent tread wear. What brand of tires and how many miles have you put on them?

 

I have some hankooks v12's I like them alot. More of a warm weather tire tho

Im running a full set of sumitumos. 275/45r18 they grab really well. Ive got about 20,000 miles on them and almost no visable on them.

 

I just installed a set of Kumho Ecsta ASXs in 255/45/18, and they're awesome. Great handling, good wear (I've had them before on other cars), and they're relatively cheap, comparatively!

Before i had my sumitomos that i have now i had the kuhmo ectsas. I liked them but i seemed to have a problem with wearing the down way to quickly. I went through 2 set on the front and 3 sets on the rear before i gave up on them all together.

 

I'm liking the price on the hankook v12. And all the the reviews seem pretty good.

 

Yeah I'm also in the market for new tires soon and was leaning toward the Hankook V12s based off of what i was finding.

 

I just got a set of Nitto Invo's 255/35/20 in the front and 295/35/20 in the rear. They provide a nice smoth quiet ride and grip fairly well depending on what kind of power you are putting down.

 

I put a set of Invo 255/45X18 on my car but I don't expect get wear our of them. I'm more interested in a performance tire than a high mileage tire but that's not what you asked.

I have heard good things about the Hankook V12's also.

 

I was a little sad they don't have more size choices.

 

nitto 555's

 

Front: 18x9 Black Bullitt Replica Wheels with Nitto 555 255/45/18
Rear: 18x10 Black Bullitt Replica Wheels with Nitto 555 285/40/18

 

Nitto NT-555's here as well, 255/45/ZR18's front and 285/40/ZR18's rear.

 

Really? I had the Ecsta ASX's for 2 years and probably wouldn't buy them again. They had awesome grip in the dry, but once you broke loose, you were sliding like crazy. There was no progressive loss of grip. It got very sketchy if you had just a little too much fun. In the rain they weren't that great either. Snow...well it's snow. Definitely better than the Pirelli P-Zero Nero's, but the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's I have on it now for the winter are SO much better.

As for summer, I have Nitto 555 Extreme's I got with my rims. I love 'em. A ton of grip but when it lets go it's very easy to control. Great in rain, just as good as the Michelin's. When my 555's eventually wear out, I'll be getting another set.

 

Being your DD, your choice of tire will probably depend a lot on where you live and what kind of weather you get year round.

 

I've never had any of those problems. They're great in the snow, rain, and amazing in dry conditions. They're certainly worlds better than the KDWSs that came with the car stock, and at their price point, I don't think you can do better for an all-season tire with a W rating.

I live in northern California and the worst weather we get is probably 40's and raining.

 

I had Sumitomos and they were great tires but a little noisy for my taste. I'm getting new tires this weekend and was originally going with General Exclaim UHPs until I found out they are not making them anymore. I've decided to go with Nitto 555s. It'll be my first experience with Nitto and I'm hoping for the best.

 

I'm needing some too and considering the General Gmax AS03 in 255/45/18.
