Which tires does /o/ run and what do they think of them?

>BF Goodrich G-Force sport comp 2

excellent grip on wet or dry pavement, rides smooth, very quiet however tramlines slightly and follows grooves in the road from time to time.
would recommend for intermediate hard driving

Toyo Proxes T1R for summer. Good dry grip, ok wet grip, very nice price. Quite loud and high rolling resistance

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 for winter. Excellent on snow and ice, and terrible on everything else

had them for 15k miles and will need to be replace before a road trip in 2 months, will probably go with Extremecontact DW's because they are cheaper and should last a bit longer

bfg rival in 205 50 zr15. more grip than I need lol. one thing about these tires though is one of them had too much radial runout, like .035 in of loaded runout. not noticeable though, but something to think about if you're considering these tires.

I also have a cheap set of barum all seasons and a set of blizzaks. I definitely recommend the blizzaks but the barums make so much road noise it's stupid. they're more loud than both the rivals and the blizzaks.
>>
Have a set of 1 season ran 18" Michelin super sports and car got totaled looking to trade for a set of 15" decent tires. Have a warranty on the michelins so I technically could get a brand new set for 100
>>
I just got some rinkidink hankook all seasons for my s10. They're pretty quiet and they preform surprisingly well when its wet, haven't even hydroplaned once.

I have some Cooper weathermaster st2 for the winter. Great traction in snow but when it's icy things get pretty scary. Also might have been the fact I have an open diff and 2wd with no weight in the bed.

Overall they're pretty gud/10 would buy hankook again. Would reconsider the winter tires next time but they still do good so no complaints.

Khumo road hugger gt's on my dd
Dry grip is fantastic for an economy tire, wet is good enough. I have not had the chance to use them in the snow yet though.

P zero's on my other car
Dry grip for days wet grip is okay at best.
Fucking loud compared to the other tires but otherwise ride nice.

Just order online, that's what I did for my Dunlops, any reputable european store will ship to Portugal.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050a

Shit in the wet. Shit in the dry. Shit braking. Shit sidewalls. FUCKING SHIT.

I could have scrubbed old people turd on the rims of my alloy and have had more traction than these fucking tires they're that fucking bad.
>>
>>15018756
Are those road huggers worth it for all seasons? Theyre the cheapest one discount has in my size right now but its still like 500 something for everything.
>>
>>15018771

You have no idea about what is a good tire now do you?

RE050a were one of the best tires out there for a couple years. No one on the competition got anywhere near them.

The very first thing you've got to learn is, not all tires go well with all cars.

Second, those are ultra soft tires that need temperature.

Third, get the fuck out cause you clearly are an idiot.
>>
>>15018858
They are worth the price for an economy tire honestly. Discount tire charges for the lifetime replacement, disposal fee ec too. Ask them how much each tire is and not the full service price. I got my 225 50 17s for 100 each i believe.

Is there some "rule of thumb" to use in guessing if a tire is noisy or not? Such as "this type of tread" is noisier or "that type of tread tends to be quieter"?
>>
>>15022588
generally the harder the rubber the noisier it is, so your best guess is the tire lifetime

UTQG 300+ and you're looking at rock hard tires that last forever, have no grip, and squeal like pigs

235/70R15.
It's on an 01 mountaineer which is actually pretty decent at deadening noise if you maintain your weather seals.
>>
>>15023331
>>15019752
Also remember, both of our tires are a lot bigger than on a sedan, and they aren't low profile get-stuck-in-damp-gravel tires. They're going to make a little bit of noise.
Relatively they're silent as fuck.
