Which 275/40/17 do you recommend (choices inside)

[merc123]

I'm not sure which tire to choose. First thing's first, would the 275/40/17 fit on my Pro-kit lowered GT front and back with 17x9 Cobra R's? I probably WON'T be in snow but there is a possiblity of torrential rain. I need a tire that will last for more than 10,000 miles of spirited driving and has excellent traction. I couldn't find Nitto 555 tires in that size on Discount Tire or else they'd be on the list.

Kumho Ecsta ASX $150.00 each Treadwear: 420 Traction: A Temperature: A Speed Rating: ZR	BF Goodrich g-Force Sport $167.00 each Treadwear: 340 Traction: A Temperature: A Speed Rating: ZR	BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW $203.00 each Treadwear: 300 Traction: A Temperature: A Speed Rating: ZR
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS $177.00 each Treadwear: 400 Traction: A Temperature: A Speed Rating: ZR	Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S $186.00 each Treadwear: 400 Traction: A Temperature: A Speed Rating: ZR

I have these and love them. the kdw's have two tread styles.

 

[merc123]

Yeah, I remember seeing that tread pattern on tirerack for the KDW's.

 

[QDRHRSE]

Nitto does have a tire that size. i get them for $160 each installed. I vote Nitto.

 

[merc123]

Looks like I'll go with the KDW series.

 

[exindust]

KDW FTW!!!

I just got ASX's (well in November)...I'm very happy with them...

I know it's probably not a big deal for many guys here, but I've found them much quieter and better riding than the Goodyear and Kumho Espwhatchamacallems I had before...another plus for me is they aren't directional so they can be cross rotated...

hey, I drive my Mustang 25K a year, stuff like that matters

What I went with:

Yokohama AVS-100
$139.00 each
Treadwear: 280
Traction: A
Temperature: A
Speed Rating: ZR

on 17x9's with H&R Street springs, zero clearance issues:

I have the g-Force Sports on my SHO, & don't care for them.

 

[dsg_gt2004]

i have kdw's on my car and i can get pretty decent traction and they are the stock size (245/45/17..good luck on your choice man

 

[tomustang]

I trust my life with KDW's, they held all the way down to the steel belts, had great grip all the way down too

 

[merc123]

I went ahead and bought the KDW's! Tire rack has them for $163 instead of the 203 on discount tire.

 

[mity2]

i love my NT555. great compromise between performance and value...

 

[Stang|ess]

KDW!

 

[mustangman9812]

I voted KDW's but I have G-Sports right now

 

[Stangsgrl]

even though i haven't tried the others.....
I love my Nittos..
I have yet to hydroplane in the rain! Which I couldn't say at all with the stock Goodyears........everytime it rained...and I avoid puddles.

 

[dsg_gt2004]

i love my NT555. great compromise between performance and value...

i had those too...and they would not hook at all man, i was somewhat disappointed

 

[WillDuhhBeast]

Toyo... <3

 

[01Steeda]

Nitto's all the way.. which I know discount tire direct has in that size because that is where I bought mine from.. 150 apice shipped if I remember correctly.

 

[Dan_Soprano]

I recently put the KDW's on the Cobra......love em!!!
