tire replacement

[L.Mark]

Ok, it's time to replace the BFG's on the front...after only 10 months of service. Everyone talks about Nitto's...soooo, with a NA stock car that will not see the drag strip and only the ocasional speedway:D... What brand. I think Dan told me the 420's??? They look really nice...

Bill,

Considering yours is a DD, Nitto's may not be a good choice for you? Dan is running the 420S while I am running the 555 Extreme.

$$$$$$$$$ sways choices

[RubberCtyRauder]

Nitto 555 are summer only. Don't like below 50 degrees. I am told. Not sure on 420. I think it is an suv tire. A few members really like the nitto motivo. I think krytin has them and mrs. Denmark. I like my cooper rs3a

[L.Mark]

I saw the Motivo's and they don't look bad at all...Gonna check some locals and then make a call...Like Jerry said, money decides all...

[maineiac]

I got mine from discount tires direct 570 delivered for all four.

On the Motivo's?...that's not bad...all I need are the front's...

[maineiac]

Yes the motivos,iirc 130 a piece for fronts

[justbob]

I will never switch from my rear 420's!! These things are nice and sticky, they wear evenly, and seem to LAST!

I tried something new on the fronts. This time I went with the Nitto 850 and so far love it equally and the sidewall matches up to the 420's pretty good.

I'll need all weather tires since mines a DD...

Not wanting to hijack this thread, but I'll be purchasing new rears soon. I've been running Cooper rs3-a (stock sizes) for a year and a half now, or approx 30k. The fronts still have enough tread to get through to next spring, but the rears are down to the wear bars. I thought this was not good (I posted up a more detailed review in another thread a month or so ago), but learned over the weekend at MVXI that getting 30k on the rears is what I should expect, maybe even more than I should expect.

I was thinking of switching to a different tire and a wider size as well, but don't want to drive around for 6 months with different tires on the front/rears...have heard this is not a good thing to do. So I'll be purchasing Coopers for the rears within the next week. If I had to buy a whole new set though, I would seriously consider the Firestone Firehawks.

[L.Mark]

WOW, that's one of my other choices. I really like the way they look.

Actually nothing much. Not one burnout....yes, you read that correctly...not one. Paul shakes his head :shake: when he looks down upon me from above. I'm not gonna do something that I don't feel completely confident about...hopefully I'll get de-virginized at SSHS this year...;)

I just put Nitto Motivos on my DD marauder, I absolutely love them and I drive about 700-1000 miles a week.

[L.Mark]

Those and the Firehawks I think I'm going to price...

[Comin' in Hot]

I ordered my motivos on eBay. They were sold as a pair, free shipping, and arrived quick.

[L.Mark]

Any warrenty??? I hate getting tire with no warrenty or road hazzard...

I think the eBay seller was discount tire or discount tire direct, I think I paid 326 for two tires

Bill, keep in these are 60,000 mile tires. Just make sure you get a good alignment with carfixer's specs
