OR

THESE:

Any help or input would be great!! I am also open to other suggestions, but I'd like to mainly keep it between either of these two if possible! THANKS!

dont get the coopers, they dont wear worth a sh!t. thats whats on my alero right now. sorta, well whats left

[Vtolds]

I'd go with coopers the tread on the nitto's looks wierd almost like it is a gimick.

[1WhiteOSV]

sound xtreme....have u had the coopers?

[sound_xtreme]

yup, replied to ur pm.

I run nitto and I am happy with em but those look like they would split tread at a point due to the reverse pattern halfway thru.

[1WhiteOSV]

OKAY..I HAVE TOTALLY RULED OUT THE COOPERS BASED ON REVIEWS I'VE HEARD....I AM COMPLETELY OPEN TO ANY RECOMMENDATIONS. I REALLY DONT WANNA SPEND MORE THAN ABOUT $110/TIRE.

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's seem like they might be the winner for my wheels. At $89/tire on tirerack you can't beat em! Any input on these?

[jabartram]

I run the zeon 2xs, they are killer tires, i run them very hard and they never let me down, and i have NO wear problems!

and they handle exceptionally well in wet weather!

a good friend of mine has kuhmo's on his 01 gt, and is disappointed, he wants the zeons, he has ridden in my car at high speeds and is very impressed with the handling of them.

thats what i have & i love em :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:shoot: but they suck in snow

[bigd6983]

yea thats what i have and i like em...........great dry traction, semi decent wet traction.......never tried snow...

[Travis99Alero]

i've know a few people with hankook tires that really like 'em, and they're pretty cheap on tires.com

[j-work]

Between those two tires... Nitto hands down, better quality.

[99BLKALERO]

go with the kumho bro..best bet for the money.....or go with the falken Ziex ZE-12, there were rated #1 in some mag....

[Naich]

the falken ziex are pretty good, they're probably gonna be my next tire. But I have sumitomo HTR+, which are good all-season tires, but they wear pretty quick.

[Youngblood77]

I can't speak from experience yet, but I have the Falken Ziex's on my rims, and Vulgar was very pleased with them...had NOTHING bad to say @ all about them. :thumbsup:

[1WhiteOSV]

I have Falken Zeix 512's right now as my winter tires....they're all-season tires...so I am not putting them on my summer rims. They DO kickass in the snow and wet weather though! I wouldnt recommend them for a summer tire though just cuz they're all-seaon's.

[1WhiteOSV]

Alright...so right now it's mainly between the Neo-Gen(Nitto) the 2XS(Cooper) and the Ecsta Supra 712(Kumho). Ah...man I wish there was like only one to choose from and thats all there was...I hate all these decisions!

[1WhiteOSV]

I want something that'll be the best for off-the-line traction...I plan on going to the track somewhat a lot this spring/summer. I don't want drag radials or anything like that..they've gotta be everyday driver's too.

[FormulaNERD]

i ran my Kuhmo's at the track for 4 months, without even rotating them and doing a few showoff burnouts every now and then... they're really good... but i'd say 5 or 6 out of 10 in rain, and i'm almost afraid to use them in the snow, luckily it doesnt snow here.
