Thread: tires compromise bewteen grip and life

hey guys, my builds finally going to start coming together after collecting alot of parts threw the winter.

my question is this, ive ran falken azenis tires for the last 4 years. havent really looked into anything else.

as much as id like to get drag radials i know they will wear out to fast. i had a set years ago and blew threw them pretty quickly, i had bfgs.

i will be selling my xxr rims and tires i bought last year to a friend.

im now in the market for a set of bad ass tires.

the rims i will be running will be a 15x7 due to me not being able to go that wide or that low (street driven car/ground clearance for my big header.)

so throw some brands, opinions at me. anything in the 90-110 price range anything higher then i could literally get drag radials on all four corners for 137 a piece. i just want maximum grip/traction and still be able to get some life out of them.

tia guys.

I don't know if this would help you:

Bf Goodrich Kdw's are what I like to run.

BFG or Michelin or bust.

I have them too and I would say go with them they have a better tread rating than azenis, and theyre better in the rain, while still having the same grip in the dry.

Worst tire ever IMHO. I have them on my Vette and they are the loudest most obnoxious tire ive ever owned. The wear on them is great since they wear like rocks. They grip ok and thats not saying much since I have a 295. They'd probably suck in a 205 or 225.

maybe i should have thrown this in there, this is a dry weather tire only. will never be driven in the rain.

also, when i say life 2 years is good to me.

thanks for the comments so far guys.

BFG best compromise with life and price. They have good options for you.

BFG or Michelin.
