Question Tires

Hi everyone, it's that time for me to buy a new set of tires, and I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out. SInce i don't know much about tires. I am looking for a Ultra High Performance Tire, I want them to last at least 15 to 20k miles, all I want is a smooth ride and excellent handling. If you guys could suggest some tires that would be great!

Dunlop Sport 9000's are what I have. Excellent tire for performance and looks.

I think our Good Year F1's are one of the best. You should be able to get 25 to 30 thousand miles out of them unless you are doing a lot of burn outs. I have 15000 on my front ones now and there only about half way gone. I changed my back ones for a new set just to have better traction on the rear and when my fronts wear down I will put my old back tire on the front and finish wearing them out. This way Im only buy 2 at a time and keep good tires on the back all the time.
This guy can sell you F1's @ 163.00 each and send them to you for about 12.00 a tire. He has sold many sets to guys here and sent them as far as Alaska. If you want F1's give him a call. C&D Tires 251-865-1778

I have nothing against F-1's either. I think they are an excellent tire but I needed 20 inch when I changed wheel size.

F-1's are the deal of the day, for sure!

Well after 25k miles on my black 99 I was forced to buy new ones from inspections (gay MA) I decided I'd go with 275$ a piece Toyo proxes 295/45 same size as the F1's. they had F1's at the tire palce in nashua NH for 225$ a pop. but they said the toyos would last longer, quieter sounding etc.. Hope this helps. the tread looks Awsome on hte truck too
