Thread: summer tire suggestions?

Bought some new wheels 18x8's and looking to buy for tires for them. 245-45-18 is what ive been looking at. The tires will be used only during the summer and Im looking to go to the track this year anything that will give me some better grip. Been looking at bf goodrich g force t/a tires. Anyone use or have used these? Are they any good? What do you guys recommend?

Continental DW or DWS

Dunlop signitures are good.

Not a fan of the BFG"s.

Hankook Versus V12?

was looking at the hankooks but heard they wear really fast

Id also advise against goodyears.

Tread life is terrible.

wide oval.

Federal SS595 is what I run, and enjoy them. Seem to hold up pretty well, and excellent in wet conditions.

I have the Goodyear Eagle GTs as well. They look cool but they do seem to have bad treadlife as FFDP stated. And the GTs are speed rated way faster than I can even go so it was semi pointless for me to even get them. haha. If you get Goodyear I would suggest their tires that are sposed to get 80,000 mi. I believe they are the Assurence? Not 100% on that tho.

anyone ever use firestone firehawk wide oval indy 500's?
