    Hi, I am basically looking to figure out which tires are the best for summer driving. Here are some examples...

    - Pirelli PZero Nero 18" 225/40/18 Front and 275/40/18 Rear

    - BFG G Force TA/KD 225/40/18F and 275/40/18 R

    - Bridgestone Potenza RE050

    - Bridgestone Sport Contact 2 - Z Rated


    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Eagle F1 GS-D3 or F1 Supercar. Great tires. If you encounter wet roads a lot, get the D3. The Supercar does not do well in rain. DO NOT get the standard F1 GS, OE on the Corvette and recently deceased F-body. It is crap.

    Try Discount Tire, I went there with the TireRack website quote and Discount tire BEAT, tireracks price. They had to order the tires though- took about a week.
    (That was on the Goodyear F1's GS-D3)

    Check www.tirerack.com

    Read good things about the G-Force, but only if you are only dry. wet, and they become very tricky.

    I had RE050A's on a previous car they were pretty good. Good cornering stability, and fantastic grip. They were ok in the rain too.
