Tire ????'s
Has anyone hear of Lionheart LH-four tire? Getting out of the Nitto's and I found these for my fronts. Also,my selection is limited for the rear since they're 345/25/20's, so I bought a set of Toyo Proxes T1R's. They were only $475 for 2, compared to $540-$600 for 1 Nitto. I don't race or drive aggressively on the streets, so I don't really need sticky tires. Thanks in advance for your input, L8R ZFLASH

Have never heard of that brand tires - hopefully someone has and can give you some good feedback on their quality.

I usually don't mix either,but the price on these were really good. I just hope that old saying ( you get what you pay for),doesn't come back to bite me. I'll give them a try and if I don't like them,then I'll get the Toyo's. The $ I saved on the rears give me a little play,so why not. Thanks Bill, I knew you'd chime in. L8R ZFLASH

They are still holding up great,it's been almost 3 yrs and they still have a lot of good tread. The Toyo's I put on the back are holding up good too, now saying all this ,they have more road noise than the Nittos. The Lionharts are starting to wear on the outside due to being lowered and needing a alignment, but overall with price being what it was,I've been very happy. L8R ZFLASH

ZFlash thanks foe the update on those tires. I just purchased a 2000 Vette and it has those tires on it. The seller said that the car had only 2k miles on them and it looks it.
I was debating on spending money on new tires or not, but since this is my weekend car only, I guess that I could live with them.
