Hey guys, I am just curious as to what you guys think the best tire is for the 18" OEM rim (235/30/zr18)... I saw a couple that caught my eye... BF Goodrich g-Force sport, bridgestone potenza RE750, Goodyear Eagle F1. Those are the ones I found to be good choices.. What you do you guys think?.. Which do you have? Thanks...

I am running the stock G-force 17" ers. Many don't like them. Mine are fine I have 23.2K miles on them and plenty of tread left. If I am not mistaken aren't the potenzas the OEM 18" ers? I have always heard good on Goodyear Eagles. They came through stock on my wifes Grand-AM and they are wearing rather well. Cooper makes a good tire too. The Zeon2xs is a sharp tire, it's a summer tire and Y rated but not Z. I don't know what the max mph's are with Y rated rated tires.

Everything you mentioned are overpried IMHO. You are paying for brand names. Check out tirerack and other site ratings on the General Exclaim UHP's. Also, check out the other tire threads discussing the tire along with other BBS's. I run them, I'm very pleased with them, they are cheap... < $100/corner, and I think best bang for your buck in the industry. Just a differing opinion to the ones you listed. If you don't want to hear it, then I would vote for the Goodyear's and avoid the Goodrich. I've run goodyear in years past, nothing wrong with them 'cept they wear out quick and are expensive. I also ran firestone firehawkss for years, but they are no longer made.
I'm very pleased with the Fuzion (made by Bridgestone) OEM replacements I recently installed on my 04 Goat with original 17" wheels. They only have them in a summer tire though so might not be a good choice for the Yankee's.

I have nothing but praise for the General UHPs. IMHO, the best tire around for the money.
I don't have them on my GTO, yet. I am waiting for the Pirellis to wear out, but I have them on my BMW, and they are a great tire.
I put all four on my BMW for $245!

^ That sounds like a sweet deal. I'm looking at new tires so I thought I'd comment to keep this thread alive. I don't need them yet, but I'm curious what people use and reccomend as well.
