Tire Experts please? Bf Goodrich vs Yokohama?

I have a Nissan1996 200sx Se, And i need to get new tires. Costco has a tire a BF Goodrich for $78 per tire and Discount Tires has a Yokohama tire for $76 per tire. The Goodrich tire is 185 by 65 with a speed rating 86h. And the Yokohama tire is the same 185 by 64, but the speed rating is lower at 85s.


Here is a chart for speed rating http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSpeedRating.dos


I dont know which tire to get, does speed rating really matter im not going to be going over 100 mph anyway. The exact tire is a BF Goodrich Traction TA or PA, not really sure think it is TA. Anyhow versus the Yokohama Avid Touring. Both sizes are 185 by 64 r14 but different speed ratings and the Yokohama has 80,000 mile warrenty vs 60,000 for the Goodrich. So which set of tires should i get?


Yokohama is here on this link but i dont have the Goodrich link.

What's the purpose of the tire? All season? Snow and Ice? Summer Sport? Next you need to consider the warranty. You can't compare warranties from two different types of tires. In other words don't try to compare a sport tire warranty to a snow tire warranty. Next, depending on what kind of tire your are looking for you should look at the tires individual ratings with respect to several different aspects. If you are looking for an all season tire you should be interested in how soft or hard it's compound or composition is. This will give you an idea of how long the tire will last you. Soft compound tires wear out very quickly, however they grip the road like super glue. Conversely, hard compound tires will last a long time, but don't grip the road as well. You should also look at the water displacement of the tires tread pattern. This tells you how much water "rain" the tire will safely move at a certain speed. Lastly, look at how much tread comes on each tire. Most street tires will come new with around 10/32 of tread on them, but just as an example a BF Goodrich All Terrain TA(SUV Tire) comes with 16/32 tread on it. If you go to the tire manufacturers' website you will be able to get all of these specs and many more. Good Luck.
