What's a good tire choice?
 
What do you like for a good "all season" performance radial on a stock 16" wheel for a '92 SSE? I think I will go with a 225 60/16. We only get 15-20" snow a year in southern Indiana but I don't want to be completely stranded on the days that it does snow. Hope you fine folks can help me narrow the field a little bit.

Toyo Proxes TPT. Directional tread design. And get them siped.

I have Goodyear HPs too, but the tread on those is a not good for winter, if you know what I mean. :twisted: Otherwise my father bought me a set of Goodyear Weatherhandlers, they seem to work all right. :?

We couldn't afford the Goodyears on my old GP with 16's so we ended up going with the Firestone Affinities and found they stuck to the ground in almost all weather better than Goodyear Eagles (what we had on there before). I can't remember the exact specs but they had an excellent speed rating and lasted for a very long time despite numerous take offs. :twisted:

Just my $.02...you can give me change... :P

I'll tell you what not to get

Michelin Energy MXV4...fine as a stock tire...great in fact, but there are most cost efficient tires out there. Tirerack has em listed at $149 USD :shock: EACH :?

Goodyear Eagle RS.A HP, T/R, GTX4, American Eagle

Just stuck 2 of these on Kendra's car as she bumped a curb and bruised one. 170.00 USD (each) out the door. Only problem with these tires is that Michelin does not put a mileage warranty on them. They are pretty good handling tires though (for the 2 days of ridden on them).

those are damn good tires. let me tell you, with having my licence for 5 weeks i fishtailed my grandmothers car at 110-115 MPH. the car is still in one piece as i recovered, and i can't help but give some of the credit to the tires.

Jim W 11-15-2003 04:11 PM

No no...don't get me wrong, I like the tires, they are great....but when it comes time to replace, I can probably get a better pair of Toyos, Kumhos or Pirellis...

But it sucks in my case because my tire size is so rare...not many all season 235/60/R16...oh well, time for 18" rims 8)
