Please pick the best tire brand you have used. Then post some information on the specific tire and your experience. I will plan a few more posts to try and build a database of information regarding what you guys purchase when it comes to tires and in the future other components of your vehicle:
Kumho Tires
ASX Series
225/40/18 and 275/4018
420 Treadwear
Good overall tire for daily driving and has decent traction. However when any extra power is applied it will not grip for shit. Its an all season radial with excellent wear characteristics for a daily driver especially on a cart that is dropped with negative camber (VIP or LUX). Its a quiet tire that I would use for daily driving and has excellent speed rating for a daily driver. Wet weather traction sometimes leaves a lot to be desired but aslong as you don't act stupid the tire will maintain a good level of grip. Much cheaper than the average tires from other competitors and would last a long time making it one of my all time favorites. My fronts have over `15K and after I rotate them will be able to go another 15K before the whole tire needs to be replaced.
Michelin
Pilot Sports Zero Pressure Series
225/40/18 and 275/40/18
380 Treadwear
One of the best tires I have ever used in my lifetime. Its super expensive and super hard to find in different sizes. I ran these tires for over 15K with no problems one bit. At one time I remember going to the the drag strip and letting all the air out of them and the sidewalls were so stiff they still didn't get traction, I ran them like that for like 2 weeks before I remembered that i had no air in the rear tires. Extremely quiet tire with excellent dry and wet weather traction. Never really broke loose in the rain with these always felt comfortable and in control. Would buy again if a set of four didn't cost over $1500. Got them for free so who am I to complain.
