well this site I was looking at dident have the UHP’s but they had these, they look like decent tires and pretty damn cheap… dunno if thats good or bad… but they seem to have good treadlife and wet/dry traction.

yea, i really like the tire alot, it hooks really well, isn’t very loud on the highway, just a tad on the soft side (great traction) and wear down a tad bit quicker. UHP’s is what they are called.

Well, whenever I can I like to take my car around the backraods pretty hard, mainly for fun, I’d like to AutoX it but its just to big of a car to bring on the AutoX track.
I also want something thats not goign to wear down in a month from my driving… so I think Im goign to go with the ones I posted above, i’ve looked a few places and they have almost solid ratings all the way around. They don’t look all that dissimaler from the UHP’s althou I would imagine they are a harder compound

its up to you brother, i’m traction limited so its fine with me if they wear down a bit faster.

General Exclaim UHP is a great tire. I had them on my 88 Z24 and will be buying a set for my Cobalt SS S/C shortly. And you can’t beat the price of them either. :nod
