Default What do you guys think of Futura Tires?

I'm shopping around for new tires. I hate the Bridgestones I have on now, but everywhere I look people say they're happy with them. I hate them, they dry rot and go out of round. So I was told Pepboys has tires for a great price by a buddy of mine. I check their website and find only these Futura tires. What the hell kind of brand is that and how good can these cheap tires be?

Well my Bridgestones are performance tires and they suck a$$!!! $112 for a tire that doesn't last longer than 30K miles isn't good. I don't care about the wear too much, but I do care about the tire rotting and loosing it's shape as it gets older.

I decided I'm going to go with Continentals CH95. I read some good reviews on these tires from the tirerack. Price isn't bad either.

Bridgestone whats? I have the S-03's and they're absolutely amazing...the cornering, acceleration, deceleration, ride, noise level, and steering feel/response is improved so much it is incredible. At like $550 for all four I feel I got a huge bargain.

I was waiting for the "S-03's" to come up.

You defend those tires more loyally than the average guy defends his mother. :fawk:







I'm sure they're great though.

Turanzas in generally are pretty mediocre.

Make sure not to buy cheap tires.. if you do.. you will have more chance of having accident in bad weather conditions... Futura... no good... .. My recommendation Dunlop or Yoko..
