turbobluestreak Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I have two types of tires that I want either a set of Kumho Hp 4716 or Yokohoma Avid H4/V4. I want to know what tire would be best for street/ drag also these are 205/60R15. and finnaly what kind of tread ware am I looking at? Just if you need to know I'm going to be using these on my 280zxt with the 81 turbo snowflake rims. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I run Yokahama avs intermediates and love them! Really sticky and zr rated. By the way they are discontinuing them and tire rack has them for just over 40 bucks a piece. A deal you can't beat! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 The tires you mention aren't really high-performance tires. Do you really need all-season tires? Even if you do, there are better all-season performance tires. As Mike said, AVS Intermediates are good, and cheap on closeout from the TireRack. I got a set for my 240SX. Those and the Yok AVS100s are the only real performance tires in 205/60-15. You get a bigger selection in 205/55-15. Bridgestone RE730s are good (had a set on my 240SX, did great at the track(road course)), and Bridgestone S03s are excellent (have 'em on my Z for road/wet track usage). For serious performance, you will give up tread life. Compare the UTQG ratings, higher implies greater tire life. Go to www.tirerack.com and compare away.

Guest LAYTON Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 i agree with dan those tires you mentioned will handle like a vw bus ,definately go with something more hot rod why not a 225-50-15 those avs es 100's are priced great and you can get them from discount tire direct at www.tires.com with free shipping and a road hazrd that the rack dosnt offer!
