    Rubber Question

    Does anyone have experience with the following tires:

    1) Nitto 555 Extreme

    2) BF Goodrich G-Force

    3) another similar bad ass dry weather sticky tire for turns and highways


    Please do not recommend all-season tires as I live in So Cal and I don't care about wet or snow traction.

    Also, noise and wear are not important.

    Finally, someone looking for some serious tires

    hell no for nitto,
    what kind of BFG? KD or KDW?

    I recommend :
    Falken Azenis RT615, - RT215 (my old tires, lasted 10-15k miles)
    Kumho Escta MX (i'm on those currently)
    and Toyo T1S

    mmm azenis

    I'm currently on Kumho Ecsta 711's they're good enough for me. Never chirped them in corners and only under the hardest clutch drops.

    I drove the top dry BFGoodrich G-Force on one of the Eclipses at Nopi and I didn't really like the way they handled at the limit. Maybe it was the car's suspension, but they didn't seem to give way gradually as the car with competing tires did (Goodyear Supercar tires I believe).

    I was looking at the Goodrich KDW but they're hella expensive--like $175. I saw a few online reviews saying this is good tire.

    I haven't heard anything about the KD but it's cheaper than the KDW.

    I'm pretty sure the KD is more expensive, the KDW are M&S

    Check out the yoke Advan Neovas too (OEM rubber for lotus elise)
