I was thinking about the same tire. They have a good rating in almost every category and they look very nice. I would go with those.

I went in and talked to my tire slanger dood, and he said go with the dunlops, the sidewalls are stiffer, less likely to bend a rim on a pothole, and better in rain. The bf goodrich just have that cool look.

If you don’t mind my asking, what did you pay for the Zenettis? I am looking at these as well.

Thanks

$265 each for the 18 x 8.5
$290 each for the 18 x 9.5

I am a Dunlop fan, but this time I went with Falken FK451, 255/45r18 on American Racing Casino rims. they look great but I am having a vobration in my steering wheel at 55mph and in my seat at 80 mph. They have done countless balances and it works for a few days then the vibration, or tremor, comes back.

I think it may be the Falkens.

They are very good as far as wet traction and dry traction, a little noisy at 40mph but then it goes away. I think I may have a bad batch of tires...the dealer says the Eibach Pro kit is to blame. i don't think so.

Since this car is a retro model, I deceided to stay with that theme concerning the tires as well. I did, however, want a tire with a beefier look than the Pirelli's and chose the Fuzion ZRi 255/50/17 to go with the Bullitt wheels. You can check them out on page 3 and 4 in my gallery.
