tire decision - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

videodrone83 · 12-25-2005, 09:06 PM

my tread is going out on my tires, and im trying to choose something under 200 per tire, preferrably 150ish, what would be a decent choice? I already looked on tirerack.com and I liked the pirelli pzero nero's but if anyone has any other suggestions please do reply

Pirelli Tire <---------------

98StangRidah · 12-25-2005, 09:51 PM

Stock size? The goodyear GS-D3 (or something like that) is very popular.

RNstanger · 12-25-2005, 10:04 PM

Yokohama AVS ES100's or Sumitomo HTR Z II's

GOTdaBLUE1 · 12-25-2005, 11:18 PM

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Hands down.

socalmach · 12-25-2005, 11:31 PM

What size? I just bought Nitto 555's for the front last week. Stock size for $135 a piece.
Pirrelli (sp) to soft IMO.
Yokohamas are good but a bit pricey.
The others not sure about them

My winter tires are Pirelli PZero Nero M&S (M&S really means all temperature compound). They are Great in rain, better than average in snow, AWESOME on hot summer pavement. Tend to flat spot if car sets for more than 5-6 days but that disappears after a mile or so. Can be sensitive at low pressure, mine runs great @35psi. Grips way better than the Goodyears which I consider to be dangerous on our cars. Read the reviews on Tirerack before you buy anything.

2k4mach · 12-26-2005, 01:29 PM

im happy with my pzero rossos.

BlackMach · 12-26-2005, 01:34 PM

I love my Nitto's. For the price I think it's the best tire going.

shakinmach03 · 12-26-2005, 03:05 PM

I'm getting Sumitomo HTRZ 315-35/17 put on the rear this week. From what I hear, they are pretty **** good. Cost me 125 per.

BlackMach · 12-26-2005, 03:51 PM

Hey RightTime,

What else have you done to your car to get dyno numbers of 310HP 369TRQ, is that SAE corrected? Those numbers seem a little high for an auto. I wish my 04 auto mach had numbers like that.

I installed a NX wet kit back in July. The dyno numbers and 1/4 times are on a 50 shot.

gotmach · 01-04-2006, 09:10 PM

ive got 24k on my Kumo 711s so far and still have about 2/32 tread. For 83.00 each on tire rack you cant beat them. They stick very well on the road but they do not have any snow traction! I pot 255/45/17 on all four.

Agree, they offer the best bang for that size buck. I have Toyo T1R's but they are kinda pricey. I have Nitto's on the set of Bullitt wheels I sometimes use, they do just fine.

SickBlackMach · 01-05-2006, 05:49 AM

I have BFG KDW-II's and I love them, and I recently tested them on the snow... not a problem

joey c · 01-07-2006, 01:01 AM

Just bought a set of falkens Azenis RT-615 for the rear they look great but I wont be able to try them out till May

3150Mach1 · 01-07-2006, 08:27 AM

Lots of choices. Depends on when and how you drive her.

Nitto Extreems
BFG KDs
GY F1s

03SHKR · 01-07-2006, 12:26 PM

I'm another big fan of the Goodyear GS-D3s. I've had 3 sets of these tires and I don't think there is a better overall perfromance tire out there. A 245x45x17 from tirerack is almost $200.

I have 245x45x17 Nitto 555s for my open track tire. They are pretty good on the track. They are really good on a dry road; not so good on a wet road. I think they were around $120 from Americas Tire.

I just put Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires on my SVO. I don't have a lot of miles on them. But, so far I really like them. I haven't got them on the open track, yet. But, they are great on dry and wet roads. And they have a really good ride. The 245x45x17 from tirerack is $139.

ylopony · 01-07-2006, 07:08 PM

I had the GS-D3's on my 02 Gt. They were an excellent tire both on dry and wet rode. I was very satisfied.

The only drawback I found in them was that they were very good at kicking uyp debris on the road as well. But that would not keep me from buying them again.

I have been looking at the BFG KDW's....what is the difference between the TA's and the G-force?
