Alright guys, here goes...
Starting to consider replacement tires for the street. I am not going to track this car (just yet) so I don't need tires with a W or Y speed rating and having a treadwear that is better than butter is preferred. Also, I am particular about parts made in North America when and where possible.
As I see it, the options are:
BFG Sport Comp-2
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric
Continental Extreme Contact DW
Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Any of the above in all-season
I am worried about anything with a treadwear over 400 as these might not be sticky enough for normal driving with the torque of the Boss even on the street so I am guessing that any all season tire is out since these have high (500) treadwear ratings. That leaves me with the four above.
In tabular form for the rears:
Anyone update their tires to any of these yet? Looking for feedback. I have a ways to go but the rears are starting to get down to about 1/4 tread left after 15,000 miles and I want to be ready.
Thanks!!!
