Grip: The amount of traction a tire can produce on a road surface. Tires produce maximum traction when they are upright and perpendicular to the road surface. An upright tire creates a contact patch on the road that has the optimal distribution of stresses. This ensures maximum traction with a long and even wear.

gti performance tires get good traction. Thats what i think

So grippy, a corner I usually slide thru I cut too close and went off the inside of the road.. lol just grass tho

I was looking at those exact tires! Good choice.... i think. I was wondering, I don't know if I should post this elsewhere or if anyone will answer me here, but I have the Road Hazard Warranty and I was wondering if I would get a new set of tire, if those new tires would be covered.

 

[Gti07Md]

I've got the same tire warranty...any xtra 10 bucks a month or so....Idk if it will void.

lol, everyone is so worried about that goshdarn warranty (i know i am!)

 

[scottnashley]

It only covers the stock tires. Once u change them say bye bye. I work at a rim and tire shop and the tire insurence is pretty much a rip off. It dosent cover the tire unless its the tires fault. Most of the time its not Im glad everyone is getting the neo gens they rock.


Edit: How much did you pay for them? Just curious... They cost around 60 a tire for the 17.

 

[kryptonkid07]

On discounttiredirect.com they're 104.

What do you guys think about these?

They're 97.

Both prices are for the 18's

 

[scottnashley]

I personally have those on my 87 bmw 325 on 18s and i have to say they arnt the best grippy tire in the world. The tire is a great highway tire and very quite. But in the rain u will slide around.

 

[kryptonkid07]

Let us know how your tires ride in the rain, Bcruzin'! I'm just kinda shopping around for when I do need new tires.... that LC is killing me.

 

[scottnashley]

Ive driving with the nitto neo gens also. They are probably the best tire for the price it rides the same in the rain as on dry pavement -scott

 

[kryptonkid07]

Sweet, that's exactly what I was looking for.

What he said.
We got about 2 inches of rain here in NC last weekend and I was aiming for puddles, to see how bad it pulled when goin through at speed. I won't say it didn't pull, but I was confident I wouldn't be pulled from the road if I hit one unexpectedly. I cannot say the same for the Contis..... Not to mention corners were very very predictable, having to really throw the car into it to induce a slide. Launching feels like I did a burn out first to warm them up. I can't say enough... Get them if you don't have mud or snow to worry about.
