Whats The Best Tire Brand?
Collapse
X
-
There really is no "best" brand. Much of that is just personal preference.
Good brands are:
Dunlop (my personal favorite)
BF Goodrich
Goodyear
Pirelli
Nitto
Kumho (I keep getting them and hating them...)
Sumitomo (very good)
General
Toyo
Bridgestone
Firestone
Fuzion
Yokohama/Advan
Continental (very good)
Kelly
etc... the list goes on and on.
Stay away from super cheap crap like:
Nankang
Wanli
Ling Long

Personally, in my work care (where I drive 1500 miles a week), I want long life, decent all-season all-weather traction, good gas mileage, and an affordable price. Some nice sticky summer sport tires would be fun, but I'd kill them in 2 months, and they'd kill my gas mileage due to the increased rolling resistance.
If you're not racing your car, then any quality maker's low-line all-season tire will probably be fine. I've always loved my Dunlops. I just always seem to manage to stick nails in them... My Kumhos that I have now are crap, but they get the job done. I like them better than the Yokohama S.Drives that I had previously.

Those Linglongs seem so bad that I wouldn't feel safe riding on them! (and I was recently riding on a fully bald Falken Ziex 512 that has been sitting in my basement since 2005...)
I always hated Fuzion's advertising... like, the brand was designed to cater to ricers.
Like, they don't focus on the performance, but the "cool" factor. Of course, I've heard nothing but good stuff about them. Granted, Fuzion is a Bridgestone/Firestone brand, so they're quality. They're Bridgestone/Firestone's "Scion".

My gf's civic has Fuzion tires... either the HRi or VRi... I really don't like them for one main reason.. NOISY.... wicked NOISY.. the snow tires we had on there this past winter were MUCH quieter....
anywho... My tires suggestion is Micheline Pilot Exalto A/S.. IMO best over all all-season tire out there! They are quiet, have a nice ride, good in the rain and light snow, and great in the dry! Awesome tread-wear too. Downside: pricy. You gotta pay to play. All 3 accords in our driveway have them as well as the Fit.

I have Toyo Proxes R28s as well as their predecessors the Proxes FZ4s, I love them. They seem to grip very well in the turns. Once I upgrade the suspension it will be interesting to see how much harder I can push them. I just wish I had gotten them in a bigger size. They do cost about 135 a tire though.Last edited by Joey GT-R; 05-11-2011, 11:17 PM.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

I have 2 undersized FZ4s on my Fit right now. They're from 2006, though. They were on my friend's car, and he bent one of the wheels. Stored them in my basement. I just broke one of the wheels on my Fit, so I borrowed two of the wheels in my basement.
I'm sure it's due to the age and not the quality of the tire... but man... these things break loose CONSTANTLY with just 117hp! I also managed to pull off a 4 wheel drift yesterday... and I wasn't trying to.
