What did BFG replace the Touring T/A VR4's with? I know they replaced them with something cause they don't make them anymore. Sam's club still has some left. If you're going with 225/60-16's, those are the only one's I'd use. They are the best tires I've ever owned bar none. I've tried them all and nothing compares sun, rain, or snow. The bad news is that's the biggest they come in. At $84 a piece at Sam's, it's the best money you'll ever spend. I swear it. If you need tires, buy these before they're all gone. Just make sure they are the VR4's.

Definately JackO..youre right about that. The Touring T/A V-Rated tires are still available via special order from your local Sams Club, but in limited supply though..BFGoodrich is in the process of phasing out those in favor of the Traction T/A. Now, what the Traction T/A's offer is a 60k warranty on the H and V-Rated tires and an 80k wty. on the T-Rated ones..this applies to ALL tire sizes. Plus, they come with a directional tread pattern and an AA traction rating and A Temp rating..along with a 400 treadwear rating. Guys, if I wouldnt have put my G-Force T/A's on my GTP, I wouldve definately gone with this tire..no other tire out there can match a warranty and performance rating that this tire exemplifies..YOU CANT BEAT IT!! Okay..enough about that; hopefully I wont get in trouble for advertising.. eek

GdGTP..I found some tires for you..the Michelin Pilot Sport tires will run you $254 and I believe the Dunlop SP Sport tires are around that particular price range..We dont seem to carry anything by BFGoodrich in that size..I was hoping to at least get my hands on some G-Forces if nothing else, but thats about the best I can do..You can go to samsclub.com and type in your zip, then click the store nearest you and follow the instructions from there..they have a few other ones on there that I didnt list..

You might want to opt for a slightly different size if you can..depends on what the tires are going on..you may be able to find more variety then.. wink

I know I"m late on this topic but if you don't care about how much mileage you get out of a set or their price I'd go with Yokohama AVS Sports. Not sure if they even make them anymore but I loved them until they wore out... about 2 summer only seasons

The tire shop said it was because I used tire shine on em. Bullshit I've never had problems with the stuff for the last 15 years.
Well it depends. What kind of Tire shine are you using? When I was a kid, my dad always used Armor All, and all of our tires were always cracking. Its because it has Petroleum Distillates in it. I only use Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel (no petro distillates), and never have any problems. The only spray kind I've seen that doesn't contain petroleum distillates is No-Touch.

Hey GDGTP..go to your local Sams Club..itll save you a LOT of time and hassle..I know we have the Michelin Pilot Sports in that size youre looking for, but they run around 260 a piece. If I were you, Id stay away from the Goodyear F1's or anything with a Firestone/Bridgestone name. Now, Im not knocking on anyone whose driving on them, but I mount tires and work around them everyday; EVERY one of my customers tell me that they are VERY displeased with the "stone" tires..as the name implies..So if youre not happy with the price of the Pilots, go to SamsClub.com and check out what they have there. If you still dont see anything to your liking, just go in to your local Sams and tell them to look in their Special Order book..if you have to, you can go down a size..like to a 235/45/18 instead of the 245..thats up to you. Personally, I would recommend every one on this forum to shop at their local Sams Club for tires..there are VERY few other places where you can get top quality tires for the price..Check it out!!.... hammer

Yeah..I agree with Bryan on this..I use the Eagle One tire gel just b/c Im too cheap to buy the Meguiars gel..but yeah the petroleum distillates will actually either soften the rubber to where it will eventually weaken the stability of the sidewalls..or in your case, itll dry them out to where they crack..but stick with your non- petroleum based stuff and youll be okay..
