What tires are you buying right now?, Tire choices are getting tough, what are you putting on your car? Options

[Genau Autowerks]

Hello guys!

So I have a GT tribute with very old BF Goodrich G Force tires. 205/60/15 in the fronts and 225/60/15 in the back. I LOVE the stance I have right now.

There doesn't seem to be any good options for a staggered set with the same compound tires. This is a car that rarely gets driven in the wet, is not tracked, but I do put about 3000 miles a year on it.

I have a slow leak on my LF and need to purchase some replacement tires.

So what is everyone buying these days?

Yep, saw these and I probably won't be doing too much wet weather driving here in NorCal. How's the day-to-day ride on those? I'd love them in the twisties, just wondering if they're particularly harsh on regular streets.

The backs as you noted were the thing concerning me, going from 60s to 45s would be pretty dramatic.

Not too harsh to me and am running 200 lb rear springs and 22mm front torsion bars. Plus ARB'S. Compound is soft, and the tread looks like racing rain tires. Very good grip. Gearing ends up pretty low but fits my mod S cams. Got used to low gearing decades ago running a 6/28 R&P in a 66 911, and that's what it feels like. On the positive side, you'll likely not wear out 1st synchro.
