Default More about tires

Here is a 2012 article about Summer Tire performance from Car and Driver.

The reason I recommend this article is that I have had the worst and the best on my Z06 and the Goodyears on my previous 2000 coupe. For these three tire comparisons, from personal experience, I would say that they are spot on.

If you are in the market for tires, I would suggest you read the article. Wish the Nittos were included in the testing, since many hear have had very good luck running the Nittos.


At any rate, here is a link to the article.

They forgot to include the RE-11 tires in that test. They would be in the top 1 or 2.
