Hey everyone
Just wanted to get your opinion on what brand of tires I should get for my TGP. Any suggestions?
I searched online and got a P245/50ZR16. The Z part can be pretty much anything if you just plan on normal driving 99% of the time, and it will save you a ton because not only are the lower-speed-rated tires (The Z is up to something like 186MPH, not that the TGP can reach that without mods [? I wouldn't know for sure]) cheaper, but they last much longer because the higher-rated ones generally have a much softer compound, or, in simpler terms, will wear away much more quickly than normal all-weathers.
P245/50(any rating)R16
I have Yokohama Avid V4S on my TGP and have had good luck with them. Good traction on wet and dry surfaces, launches pretty well without a ton of wheelspin as well.
I have had good luck with these...

The low treadwear helps with traction but they wear a tad quicker..
I bought a set of Fuzion ZRi's and a set of Aurora H107s. Both really cheap performance tires. I WAAYYY prefer the H107s to the ZRi's. I recommend the H107s. They won't last long though.

X 2 on the Fusions. Unfortunately they get "caremelized" long before they wear out......frickin Global war on terror!!
