Kumho Ecsta Supra 245/50r/ZR16s [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] for wet road traction. I drive at a regular posted speed limit (70 mph) on a wet road and not even worrying about doing 180s or 360s on the highway. [img]smile.gif[/img] 85 bucks per tire, good deal!!<i>00\' NBM Firebird~T-5<br />60\': <b>2.29 sec.</b><br />1/4: <b>14.7 @ 95.5 MPH<br />Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for me.</b></i>Comment

The Kumho's are good, but you have to be real careful about treadwear. If you can get a good deal on tires, I'd say go for the BF Goodrich G-Force KDW, they're normally expensive, but since you can get a good deal that's what I would look into. The Kumho's are definitely the best for the money though.Comment

Overall how is the treadwear on Kuhmos, I am going through my current set of tires in about I guess 16 months.Comment

I dont know but the P245/50R16 Kumho 711s (not the 712s) are $55/ea and have a better treadwear than the 712s. They have a BFGoodrich/SP8000 like pattern and seem to be well admired. I intend on getting a set. At $55/ea if I get 20K out of them I'll be really happy :D2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

I went threw my Badyear 235-55-16 in about 7 months.....I would never put on badyears tires on any of my cars. Every time I do they burn up. (Junk) Now BF on the other hand...Is the way to go. Handling is great. Tread wear is good. No problems ever... Except for nails. lol

Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...2 weeks ago -
Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
