Neal,

I could use some help on finding a tire.

I currently run the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/45/18 (rear tires)
and they lasted my 14,500 miles.
I am not sure if i want to go with the same model again? I do love how they ride and the look is great.

But ideally I would like to see more miles.
I have researched Yoko Avid ENVigors / Goodyear Eagle GT
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?

Perhaps the Potenza RE760 Sport?

Can you please give me some quotes for 2 tires shipped to 14001

Thanks,
Mike

Are you planning on replacing just the two and leaving a pair of DZ101's on the car? If so, I would highly recommend against mixing the all season and summer tires together. The Dunlop is still a great tire for the money and having all four match is safest scenario here.

Different brand nor different performance classes, especially a summer on one end and a/s on another.

Hey Neal had a question, My wheels are going to be 19x9.5 and 19x11 and I was thinking of running 235/35 front and 255/35 rear. Which tires would you recommend at a reasonable price and quality? I searched and found that Hankooks V12, Yoko S. Drives or Toyo T1 Sport. I want to run slightly stretch but good durability(or best it can be for stretch) What's your input? Thanks.

Those are quite narrow for the wheels and would be surprised if they will seat properly. V12's have been a really popular tire thus far for dry/wet. The Yoko's will last a tad longer and run a little quieter.

Question about fitment: Would it be advisable to run a 295/30/19 on a 10" wheel?

Hey Neal, haven't been on a while but just wanted to say thanks. I received my tires within 20 hours of my order. Made my first experience buying tires smooth and easy. Those kumho ecsta 4xs are gliding on my coupe.

Hey Neal, haven't been on in 2 weeks but I just wanted to say thanks for helping me out with my order. Made my first tire buying experience very smooth and easy. Tires came in within 20 hours of ordering them. And those Kumho Ecsta 4Xs are gliding on my coupe. Just wanted to know if there's something I need to do for my warranty, like register tires?

Yes, that tire will fit wheels that are 10.00 to 11.00" wide.

No problem at all! Thanks for the compliments and your order. You can send in the DOT registration card so Kumho can then contact you directly if there are any recall campaigns. Outside that, we will have all on file that's necessary to start a warranty claim.

Can I put this tire on my G35 coupe?

Dunlop 245/40R-18 93W BSW Direzza DZ101.

Somebody said the tire rating (marked in bold) is too low for the G35 coupe... needs to be 97 or higher...

Nevermind, the guy who said that was retarded. The min on the fronts should be 91.
