What Tire Do You Have?
 

Just looking to hear some feedback about the type of tires you guys have and how you would rate them on:

-Performance in dry/rain/snow?
-Thread Life?
-Price?
-Noise?
-Ride Comfort?
-Other comments?

Here is what I have:
-Dunlop SP Sport 01. 235/50/18 front, 255/45/18 rear.
-Performance in dry, excelent. Rain, excelent. Snow, not much experience in snow for a good review.
-Thread Life, I'm at 32k miles and is about to need new tires.
-Price, tirerack sales them at around $211 front, $240 rear.
-Noise, not bad but haven't had anything different on the car to compare it to
-Ride comfort, haven't had anything different on the car to compare it to.

BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2
 

BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2: 235/50-18

Only had them for about 600 miles BUT they grip IMO like you wouldn't believe. Had stock wheels/tires on my X3 for about 1000 miles.

Pure summer tire with some good wet handling characteristics (per tirerack reviews - no personal experience). Compared to stock tires, they are a bit noiser but nothing I can't live with. I kept my factory wheels and tires in case I need all-seasons for the mountains.

Ride comfort seems good but I came from a Mazda RX-8 with Mazdaspeed springs, shocks, sway bars and strut bars (read: stiff ride). Maybe a bit harsher than factory ride with factory set-up but it's probably close to the same.

Paid $199 per tire at Just Tires in Sherman Oaks (included mounting and balance). Tirerack had them for $184 but without mounting and balancing.

I use Michellin Pilot Sport: Front 235/50ZR18, Rear 255/45ZR18 (directional tires)
- Performance in dry = Excellent; Rain = EXCELLENT (it rains a LOT and HEAVY here); Snow = N/A (it NEVER snow here!)
- Thread Life = done 18K Km only, still got long way to go
- Price = I forgot. but I think it was about US$200+
- Noise = slightly louder than the stock (Michellin Pilot HX), but I think it's more to do with from 17" to 18" rims; the sport exhaust and my music is way louder anyway!
- Ride comfort = I'm used to stiff rides. Gave up my Lexus RX for the X3.
