which tire has better grip

 

So you're asking which grips better, one relatively crappy but inexpensive all-season tire, or another relatively crappy but inexpensive all-season tire?

Since you live in Florida, you can get much better performance by just using summer tires, since you never need to drive in snow or cold. The Kumho SPT is inexpensive and will give you MUCH better performance than any all-season tire, in rain as well as on dry pavement. It's available in 15" and larger sizes. If you want summer tires but you have 14" wheels, the Yokohama ES100 is a good choice.

All-season tires are designed for those who have to use the same tires in snow and frigid cold as they do in moderate to warm temperatures. In exchange for this flexibility, their performance in both conditions is not as good as tires (winter tires and summer tires) designed specifically for those conditions. Since you don't need to worry about snow or cold, you don't need all-seasons, and you can take advantage of the better performance of summer tires.

You should read the sections about all-season tires and summer tires in the topic stickied at the top of this forum:

Bump!!! any one else!!!

 

Nsxtasy has told you all you need to know. He's the tire guru here and what he says is true. You will never need anything other than a summer tire because it never gets cold enough in Florida, unless you live somewhere else and haven't updated your area.

 

nsxtasy does know his stuff i will give him that. He and i do butt heads occasionally.
But for the most part he is normally always right. Being that you do live in florida you really don't need an all season tire unless you choose to own a set for some reason. Summer tires are going to give you more grip if that is what you are truly looking for. like stated before the good summer tires that are budget minded are the kumho spt, yokohama avs es100 and the dunlop direzzza. If you want more grip than that then you are looking at tires like the goodyear eagle F1 or the falken azenis rt615. so there are your answers that you are looking for. The two tires you have mentioned that you were looking at a poll on are garbage in comparison the the above mentioned tires when it comes to grip!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I like Toyo proxes 4.

 

ziex for now

 

BFG G-sports offer better traction for alittle more than the zeix, proxes....

Obviously someone who didn't bother reading the previous posts. (Among summer tires, the Kumho SPT is much much MUCH better than the crappy g-Force Sport.)

 

Hey chill out, both suck IMO I run RT-615 azenis on both my cars...Just offering another option.

Those are fine if you don't mind the downsides (very short treadlife and so-so performance in rain).

They are mentioned in the FAQ stickied at the top of this forum. So are the Kumho SPT. Maybe you (and others posting in this topic) should read it before posting.

 

what do you think about goodyear eagle f1's?

Goodyear makes a lot of tires with the Eagle F1 name on them. Perhaps the most popular right now is the Eagle F1 GS-D3. It's an outstanding tire, with excellent traction on dry pavement, superb traction in rain, and pretty good treadlife, too. It's a bit expensive but not as expensive as many other top-of-the-line tires. The only downside of the F1 GS-D3 for Honda/Acura owners is that the only size it comes in smaller than 16" is 195/50-15, which works for older Civics, but not for Integras and newer Civics.

 

yeah thats what i meant, i have the e agle f1 gs-d3's. interestingg......
