heya ppl. great site! recently bought an 03 neon se...love it....only question i have is what tires would be best suited for 'hard' driving in the phoenix area

Welcome to the site.

What do you mean "hard-driving"? Street racing tires? How about none. Take it to the track.

If you mean good performance tires there are lots. I'm partial to Bridgestone myself and usually run Potenzas but I'm hoping to be able to afford the Bridgestone Fuzions this spring.

i don't street race, just drive faster than i should, sometimes take corners to hard stuff like that...goodyear integrity's came with my car...got the car w/ 22,000 miles on it...now @ 30,000 the front tires are already bald...was looking for something more durable and temperature resistant

Hi evelj!! Welcome to the site!! Great to have you here. I also drive hard, but I race and speed and am generally a terror on the street. BUt I'm controlled, I wouldn't hurt my truck or anyone else... :)

I hope you visit us often!

Hi Evelj,

Welcome aboard.

As for the tires, when looking at new tires take note of the information that is right on the sidewall of the tires.

Temperature......you want "A" rating

Traction.............you want "A" rating

Treadwear.........you want a high number, the higher the better i.e. 450


As for speed rating, you may want a "H" or "Z", if you do high speed driving.

I can't find my speed rating chart for tires, the guy at the tire store can help you with that.

Good luck,

Bob
