tires

Collin: Thanks for the advice. That is a bummer, I liked those tires, but I will head your warnings. I will see if they have any Falkins there.

I was under the impression you were driving the entire route, which is why I suggested going with cheap tires, given that your doing the ferry thing (which is a fun trip in itself) I'd go with what ever your top choice is (the michelin hydros)

So when do you start the journey???

Take a look at Sumitomo Srixon all weather M&S. Top wear rating, have had mine for 6 months, quiet, sticky and $65 each

thats a bargain for sure. i got mine on order. im going to be the michilen hydroedge guinea pig. i got the extra cash so im splurging a little. i will update on the handling and proformance of them. with the gcs and the konis i cant wait!!!@!!!!@!@!#$%^&&*$@! got excited!@#$#$^^$$^^$ again////.

If you are interested in performance tires, may I suggest that Falken makes great tires. I am currently on my first set of GRB FK 451's and I love them more than my Falken Ziex ZE 512's. As with every performance tire, the tread weak will diminish in quality versus a nice all season radial. Falken tires aren't too terribly expensive, got my whole set for about $550.

I have gone with the Falken 512's twice, and while a good tire at that, the handling in the water is a little skiddish. Toyo and Yokohama make great tires as well. I guess it all comes down to which company you like and whether or now the tread pattern looks promising. Hope this helps.

*Yes, I do choose tires based on tread pattern, not because it would look good on the car, but for functional purposes as well.
