Looking at all season's around $200 or under. These are what I'm finding that have at least mixed up to great reviews:

1. Toyo Proxes 4 Plus
2. Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S
3. Hankook Ventus S1 noble2
4. Falken ZIEX ZE950
I would love to go with some Michelins or Conti DWS's but not looking to spend that much. I also have found that the BF Goodrich g-Force Comp2 A/S has great reviews, but in my opinion they look like a truck tire from the side, lol. I also considered the Nitto Motiv's, but they are actually as wider as 285's (11.38 wall to wall) and I will be bagged so I'm afraid they'll be too wide.

Going to run 275/35/20 squared.

Thanks :)

I've got the Yokohama tires and am pleased with them.

Hey Paul, you mentioned to me that your friend had some 275 that clipped the inner Fender but you said they were really fat tires. What model tires were they?

are you looking at the UTQG ratings of the tires? BF Goodrich, Hankook, and Yokahama have rating of 400 or higher.

No giving much attention to this rating. If anything, I may favor a lower rating, lol. I will not be driving in snow ever. I just want an all season to drive on cold days when its nice out. I figure the higher that rating, the harder the compound. I would like as close to as a summer performance tire as possible.
Besides, those ratings are determined by the manufacturer and there is no true baseline for them.

Yeah, I looked at the Motivo's, but they are insanely wide for their stated size. 11.38" wide which is almost a 1/2" bigger than almost all other brands in that size. With bagging, I'm afraid of inner fender rub on the front.

Id go Toyo Proxes,

Great looking tire and price point.

Nitto has a nice one as well, Motivo

Thats got me a little worried now. It only has a sidewall width of 10.75" which is less than most of the other 275's I've seen that are running around 10.8 - 10.9. :(
The NT05 is a solid sidewall they sit bulky
