I am curious what brand of tire everyone is running? And also how do you like them? And if anyone is still listening...which is better Kumho, Falken, or Toyo? Thanks.

On stock right now and I really really hate them.

I'm getting some 225/45/18 Nitto NT-555's though

dunlop sp5000
really good grip and ride plus it works in light snow (tested it)

I also have dunlop sp5000 on stock rims. They do grip pretty well but for some reason mine were out of round and I also found out that they wight 23.2 lbs compared to FZ4 19 lbs. Although I did not buy them or will. My pops has FZ4 and they look very wide compared to sp5000.

nitto nt 450's 215/45/zr17

I have Pirelli P7000 SUpersports on right now (225/40-18ZR) and they have excellent dry traction, but on snow or rain they suck ass. Last week during the "snow storm" I slid right through 2 stop lights in Downtown Minneapolis, and a busy stop sign.

My stock tires have Nitto 450s (205/50-15), and they have decent performance, but they are very loud. I need to get some BLizzaks put on my stock wheels.

A lot of people like Kumhos, but I heard they wear quickly.

I have Falken. No complaints here. Wish I could have gotten Proxies though. The place I got my rims from, delt exclusively with Falken.

I have toyo proxes fz4 right now....i'm pretty happy with them overall.

I also had:

toyo proxes t1....very nice and grippy tire but expensive!
nitto 450...ok tire but i would not buy them again
yokohama a520....very nice tire but noisy.
falken ziex...ok, but i would not buy again
dunlop sp8000....very bad ass tire but pricey!!
kumho 712....very good tire for the price!!
