Hey hey, figured it would be interesting to see what kind of tires your vehicle is rolling on, especially since some parts of the world may have tires that other parts don't get. Basically just post what vehicle you have, what tire brand and model, and I guess the size it's in.

To start off...
1989 Jeep Wrangler
Generic Steel Belted Radials (I'm serious :lol:)
P235/75R15

Lets see. My Police interceptor has.....

Fronts:
225/60R/16 Police issue Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip high performance all season tires that stick to the ground like glue might I add!
Rears:
Generic crappy 225/60R/16 all season Marshal tires. Only good for burnouts, donuts and sliding a police car around haha.
 
Good question... I've no idea what's on the Volvo :scared:

1992 Rover Mini Italian Job
Yokohama A539
165/60R12

Best tyres you can get for a Mini.

1993 Volvo 940 GLE Turbo
Fronts: Cooper Cobra something or other. Rears: Camac NT 65
195/65R15

I've never heard of either; prehaps that's why it goes sideways so readily. I think some proper tyres are in order when they need replacing...
 
1966 Plymouth Barracuda
Cornell 535
P195/75R14 All season ( :odd: There's only one season in Florida, hot)

I think I might just want to get a wider tire, just a bit :lol:
 
Front/rear: P205/65/R15 Delta Majestic All Season (not the greatest tire in the world, but they're made in the USA ) I'll have to replace the fronts soon, probably with Kuhmo Ecsta All Seasons. :)

I believe this is what I have:

2006 Volkswagen GTI
Continental ContiProContact(or Sport)
225/45R17

The spare is a little surprising. Same tire line, but a 225/55R16.

That would be my "car". My "ride" is the nice person who came to pick me up after school every day. 30 years ago.

2003 BMW 325i

Now: Bridgestone RE01-Rs in 225/45-17 on 17x8 Borbet Fs

3 months from now: Michelin Alpins in 225/45-17 on 17x8 OE Type 96 wheels
 
1998 Peugeot 406 Coupe V6 SE
Michelin Pilot Primacy
215/55 R16
 
1998 Chevy Malibu
Goodyear Assurance TripleTred
215/60R15


Not sure, but that's probably what I have
 
2008 Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge
Continental EcoContact 3 (IIRC)
185/55 R15

They've been spot on so far, plenty of grip!

Rears: Camac NT 65

My current tires:

Dunlop Sport 5000m
215 something 18"


My winter tyres:

Nokian Hakkiapellita (something like that) R

205, 16"


Hopefully get some nice summer tyres at some point like Goodyear Eagle F1 or maybe Pirelli's.
 
BFG Riken Raptor 245/45ZR18 on all four corners. Excellent dry tire. Absolutely horrible in the wet. I'll be getting a different style of tire for sure when these need replacing.
 
Yah next summer I'm planning on getting some 15x8 wheels with 265/70R15 General Grabber AT2's
 
1.8 Talon
General Tire Exclaim UHP
205/55R16
Best Tires around for under $100 imo.
and in winter some garbage
Uniroyal
185/70R14

then my Park Avenue
Douglass AS
205/70R15
 
Right now I've got 205/50-15 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires, and for winter I'll have some sort of cold weather tire in 195/55-15.
 
Goodrich 175/80R13s.

Yes, I know. Lame/pathetic. I don't exactly HAVE money to spend, alright? Lemme pay off my college loans a little.
 
Beerz
PB - How do they compare to the Profilers?

I've never had experience with those tires, but I know Skip Barber Racing uses the G-Force Sports for their cars.

'nuff said. They are very progressive, but they get "greasy" after driving hard for about 15 minutes nonstop.
 
They're overheated. I've read that the G-Force KDW 2 is a tire that gets overheated very easily and way too soon. That's the one that everyone thinks is so cool because it looks like flames.
 
The 3 rolls on the following bits of rubber:

Spring/Summer/Autumn:
Pirelli P-Zero Nero 215/45-18

Snow:
Bridgestone Blizzak 205/50-17
