Tires on FWD MC'ssmokeyandthebandit 11-16-2007, 08:49 AM What kind of tires does everyone like on their front-wheel drive Monte Carlos? I need to find a good all-season tire for my 01 SS. There was a light dusting of snow last night and my car was sliding all over with the tires that are on it now. I do alot of highway driving so I want something that's going to get good mileage as well. So tell me what kind of tires y'all like. edson4433 11-16-2007, 09:24 AM You are going to get all kinds of responses! It comes down to the brand you like best. I have always liked Goodyear and Michelins. My 2002 Monte came with Goodyear RS-As. When I had new tires put on I went with the Goodyear RS-A Plus. This tire is a little more expensive but you get a lot more for your money. This tire is used on Police cruisers (Crown Vics and Impalas) and is designed for a little more action. It has a stiffer side wall setting the car up in turns. It also has an aramid overlay belting inside the tire which makes them puncture resistant and flat spot resistant. I have always thought the Monte was a little soft in the corners and these tires made a big difference. You will feel them more in the steering wheel, but overall they are a nice ride. They have a deeper tread and a wider water channel. I have yet to break them loose, and I have had a few opportunities. So far outside of the break-in period I have liked them.
