#22219, "Best tire IYO"


          

What is the best tire in your opinion? Im trying to find the best tire for me, but no clue what to get. I dont know what to look for really, but these will be daily/street tires that perform the best. Probably some kind of a sticky tire? for traction (boosted here). I need these to grip and put the power to the ground and reduce spinning. Just looking for suggestions. What do u think?

Are you looking for an all season performance tire, or just a "summer" tire?

For all season, I like the Bridgestone Potenza RE950s (it's H rated, so it's not for going over 130mph)

For a summer tire BF Goodrich KDWs, they'll still work in the rain (or at least they should) and they'll still be a very good Z rated ultra high performance tire. They'll also be expensive

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Stick good for me. I couldnt break them loose in the rain in my parking lot at work, have a rating os 300 (maybe 280, i forget) after 15,000 miles they still look pretty good. not sure how well on boost they are but ill find out in a few months. kind of expensive paid 172/tire from tire rack, of course they are like 250-300 from any tire store. no problems yet and i love them

nitto555's are nice. one of my good friends has them on his SVT lightning. he makes close too 500whp at 1800rpms and they hookup like no other. falkin azenis are pretty cheap so u could try those before you pay out the arse for tires. but, you do get what you pay for. also, you should consider expected mileage.

My I second the Yokohama Parada's, they placed 8 out of 47 tires in the Ultra High Performance Catagory, and did I mention they are less than $100 a pop (www.tirerack.com)?

The only non excellent thing about this tire is that they arn't a snow tire (wet and dry).

BTW, they have the highest speed rating (Y - for going over 186 mph).

I like my Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712's. They were pretty cheap too, I think less than $90 each for 16's. They suck ass in the snow though.
