what's a good rain tire?mach8 December 28th, 2004, 09:45 PM It's winter here in sunny CA which means a lot of rain and with my Mark VIII that means spinning tires, that traction control is such a bad joke. Anyone found some tires with some grip in the wet? hottweelz December 29th, 2004, 08:20 AM Pirelli P600's 215/60/r16 I believe... standard on M8.... I love mine! viiiball December 29th, 2004, 04:13 PM Pirelli P600's 215/60/r16 I believe... standard on M8.... I love mine! bf goodrich traction t/a's...i just got a set of 245/50/16....love em :Beer 1wykdmk8 December 29th, 2004, 04:59 PM I have found NONE better (unless you spend MAJOR loot) than what I have on my car now. I have Yokohama Avid V4s 245/50/16's and I purchased them from www.tirerack.com for only $97 each+shipping. Check out this post (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=1430) and you will see the spirited drive I had with them.......in the rain even.....you may consider them. 1wykdmk8 December 29th, 2004, 05:14 PM Pirelli P600's 215/60/r16 I believe... standard on M8.... I love mine! First off, Pirelli was not the tire that came standard, it was the Michelin MXV4, or something similar. Second, the factory size is 225/60/16. apbpetey December 29th, 2004, 08:01 PM First off, Pirelli was not the tire that came standard, it was the Michelin MXV4, or something similar. Second, the factory size is 22/60/16. I think you meant to say 225/60/16 :N 1wykdmk8 December 29th, 2004, 09:48 PM I think you meant to say 225/60/16 :N Thanx bro....as you can see....I fixed it......LOL!

The reviews are pretty good but the type of cars that the reports are written on leave a little to be desired. There is a huge difference on the performance of a tire between the size of the tire (duh) and more importantly, the weight of the vehicle. A certain tire may perform better on a 3000lb car than a 4000lb car, if you get my drift. So I am looking for reviews from guys that are running around with luxo barges like us guys. Appreciate any comments. codewize December 30th, 2004, 10:09 PM I used to run the Pirelli P400 Touring on the STS 215/65/15 and they were great. They're kind of hard to find now so I'm running Yokohama Avid Touring on the STS and the Brougham. Both seem to be a great tire in the rain. DON'T go good year, they all suck in water. Additional FYI: Actually I have a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw's on the front of the STS right now and I have to tell you that for a crappy tire, which they are, they're exceptional in the snow. BigT December 30th, 2004, 10:35 PM I have the BFG Traction T/A tires on mine and they are great in the rain. I even got to try them out in the snow this week and was impressed with them. I have them in the stock size. They work so well on dry pavement that it bogs the motor down before it will spin them. viiiball January 1st, 2005, 06:22 PM I have the BFG Traction T/A tires on mine and they are great in the rain.

Haven't been that crazy about the BFG Touring either. viiiball January 6th, 2005, 08:35 PM My car came with Michelin Pilots and when they wore out I put on some BFG Touring T/A's because I wasn't to happy with the Michelin's.
