Help me pick my tires!!
So guys since you all have seen the new rims i got i need some input on tires. So please let me know your opinions on these:

BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2
Yokohama AVS ES100
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712


Alos, my tire size is 275/35/18 And dont just say you like one more than the other because its cheaper. I want input that will help me choose the best summer tire i can buy. Wet/Dry traction.

My dad and one of my brother's have the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 and they both love the tire. Good wet/dry traction and long life.

After reading different reviews from owner's of the three tires it looks like the Yokohama AVS ES100 are the most liked. Several of the reviews were by people who owned the Kumho's before hand.
Basicly they say the Yokohama AVS ES100 have great wet/dry traction, long life, and handle really well.

any of those will be a great tire im sure however if you arent worried about price then you pretty much cant beat the BFG KDWs.

Mohawk Predator VRS the rears were sold with the car, they are SHOT. the ones that used to be on the front of the Z are now on the back of the WS6 and i put the ones from the back on the front of the Z. come spring time im getting nittos in back and putting the good Mohawks from back to front. Fred, if you do lots of burnouts just get the cheapest tires you can find.lol
