I'm in need of new tires for the Talon, the OEM Goodyears are quite toasted.

Does anybody have a good stock size tire they'd recommend?

I was looking at maybe the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS, the Continental
ContiExtremeContact, the Kumho ECSTA KH11, or the Kumho
Ecsta MX.

I am currently running Dayton Datona ZR tires on my car for street tires.... size 225/50/16... what I like about them is the extremely long time that they are wearing.... I have had the ones that are on the back of my car on there for well over 25,000 miles.... not sure of the accual age seeing as they are the tires that were on the car when I bought it 3 years ago.
also very good dry and wet traction.... they are also decent for snow traction for what they are.
IMHO..... very good street tire!!!!!

I run Falken azeni sports in size 205/40/16 for track tires.... good for dry traction, but thats about it... tires wear sucks and so does wet traction.

I have run the BFG G-force T/A KDWS before on different vehicles and was very pleased with dry, wet and snow traction as well as tires wear....
IMHO...... also very good street tire!!!!!!

I am accually considering going back to the BFG, however, I think I will use the KDW instead of the KDWS on my next tire swap.
