What kind of rubbers are you guys running on your cars? I'm using Yokohama AS430 on the RX7 and Falken RT615 on G stock wheels/ Nitto NT555 on custom 20s.

right now i'm running yoko avid v4s but i'm really thinking about a set of as430s, considering i get killer discounts on them working at ntb.

Yea for the price, the AS430s are a good all season tire. I used to work for Merchants up in VA. I don't know if you guys have them down here tho. I just have those on there to burn up b/c they were brand new and free to me.

That's what I'm running. Great in the rain, decent in the dry, and relatively cheap.

Mine came with Kumho Ecsta ASX's...

I'm thinking about Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S next...but I don't know much about tires. I'm going strictly by reviews, plus they look SICK, haha.

I hate Pirelli's- if you let them sit for too long (12 hrs) then they will develop flat spots. I am a big fan of Yokohamas

Damn, are they that soft?

That won't be good for me then...because there are days at a time where I just don't need to drive.

Yea I don't suggest the Pirellis either. They aren't made for aggressive driving or long lasting. If you drive a big body 4dr car then their a nice comfortable ride but other than that, their too expensive to burn up.

So I guess there's a reason they come stock on Jaguars.

Good lookin' out...guess I'll do some more research.

Ahh...the Pirellis just look so sick though! That flat-spotting issue is actually really shocking.

I had those pirelli's you speak of, i didn't drive my s4 for days at a time. They were smooth, yet sticky. They were even better in the rain. They wore out decent for me, a few track days and 3500 miles of on the limit driving. They were well worth the money.

I'm also running NT555's on the benz. 245 in the front and 285 in the back. I like these tires also, but they suck in the rain.
