[TwinyTwin]

Mickey Thompson Dot Drag radials on the buick. love them cause the hook so well. I ride with these on the street.:D Well when the car is not broken:mad:

[SwurvinIn]

haha...mickey thompsons dont count...im talkin street tires here

[FDslider]

Bridgestone Potenza RE950's. Best tires I have ever owned. About to put some Michelin Pilot Sports on the FD! Big rubber pimpin baby!

[HyPer50]

BFG G-Force T/A's.... not grabbing

[TwinyTwin]

haha...mickey thompsons dont count...im talkin street tires here

well the truck is on ameritrax, never heard of them but they ride great.

[Ran]

Daily - Yokohama AVS Sports. Very grippy tire. Love em. :)

Drifting - Kumho ECSTA SPTs. Cheap with good grip and tread wear. :cool:

[Darling Nikki]

I have on the Magnum, Pirelli Scorpion Zeros. They are sweet as hell. Nice tires. I recommend them to the peeps who ever need tires to go with big ass wheels.

[D.Choe]

lol it's not even funny how many different types of tires I run...
on my daily I have Michelin MXV4 crap economy tires.
it squeals at the slightest loss of traction.
As for the AE86, it's a frankenstein of tires.
2 Bridgestone Potenza, 1 Michelin Pilot, 2 Formula GT, 2 Firehawk, 1 Avis, 4 Yokohama AVS.
I think I like the Yokohamas the best.

[collins]

i currently have the toyo t1-r's on there, and they're ok. i had bfg gforce sports on there before and i like those alot better. they gripped like hell and had virtually no sidewall flex. the toyos you can feel when going into a turn, the sidewalls sink, and sink HARD. for straight line (like highway) they're great, and also have very good wet traction, but when it comes to twisties, i'll stick to bfg's.

[sprix!]

BFG Gforce Sports are what I am running now. Its damned difficult to get my rear to break loose with em. Excellent grip, they are quiet and a 300 treadwear rating also make them easy to live with. :D If I didn't have these, I might run Kumho 712s.

[SwurvinIn]

thanks for all your comments guys...i need to hear from some peeps with the BFG KDW & KDWS. also the Michelin Pilot Sport, Sport 2's and sport cups

[The Yousef]

sigma tempest (kauffman tire humor)

[BTLFED]

Ones that are round and black.

[JASONBALL]

I have Wanli on mine. very good grip. have not noticed any tread wear either.

[GTScoob]

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza S03s right now. They're at the very end of the treadlife, I'm thinking strongly about the BFG G-Force sports next. I havent pushed the S03s much but they're very grippy, so much that I've never even gotten close to the limits on the streets.

I loved my S03's! They are still on my stock wheels. I think they are hard to beat...I just hate the 180 rating.

BFG KDWS (TT or NT) rock like no other tires out there... They last a very long time and are wicked performance-wise.

[92mr2T]

Nexen N2000 currently. I like these better than the bf's I took off same treadwear to 340 AA.

[Goinfasterthanu]

The new falken azenis!!! I cut 2.0 60foots at commerce with them!!

[Bishop]

i have yokohama avs es 100 or w/e they're called. Great dry traction but not so great wet traction. I wont be buying them again just because i want to try different tires and see what i like best.

[Chuckster]

FALKEN ZEIXENS 512

best tire iv been on


Had,
kuhmo 711 - cheap but sucked hairy balls
kuhmo 712 - some what cheap, pay little mo' for sucking shaved balls
Dunlop's(forget what kind) - Better then the last 3 but tend to bubble up on ya for no damn reason
Michelin(forgot) - would have bought another set of these but i wanted to try out Falkens cause i have heard nothing but good things
Toyo FZ4 - prefered to go back to the kuhmo 711 BUT these tires will last you for fucking EVERRR!

[David88vert]

Testing some Maxxis MA-Z1's right now on the FD. Not the absolute best tire I've run :-), but for the money they seem to be giving good performance. I took the FD up to the mtns today and did a full run, and they gripped pretty well. No slipping, and were predictable.

Running Nitto 555s on the Mustang. Decent DR once you get them warm. Suck in the wet though.

[edison_GTI]

Goodyear F1 GS-D3. Excellent tire and very good when the road is wet. However, very expensive.

[BlkCD5]

Mohawk Predator SRS. Can't really complain since i got them for free, but they're alright.

[Flip]

I got me some Bridgestone Potenzas. THEY ROCK!

[BluesClues]

I have Nankang Ultra Sport NSII. 215/35R18. I love them. I get great mileage on them. Only thing is they are expensive. $126 per tire

[PSINXS]

Eagle F1 GSD3. i couldnt ask for anything more.(other than a drag radial lol)

[Maki]

Faulkin G-R Betas. best tire ever. great tread life and insane grip

[Demsum]

Yokohama Parada Spec-2. Nice in the rain, and competitive pricing.

[JennB]

Faulkin G-R Betas. best tire ever. great tread life and insane grip

Same here. I love them. They've only been on for 3K so far but I've put them to good use and they have yet to let me down at all.

I had the stock runflats on before... ugh... I don't think they could have sucked more.

[Velburg]

kumho 711 escta... I have had them for a year now and still have over 65% treadlife.. Good for wet weather...

[Outphase]

Hankook Ventus RS-2's on the stock alloy 16's (225/45/R16)
Falken Ziex 512's on the 17' Enkei RS-7's (205/45/R17)


The Falkens were alright, but the grip was gone after a while...in the rain it had pretty crappy traction, too. Hankooks are like 500x better in the dry weather, have not tested in rain yet.

This applies for FWD/FF setup...I have not tried on a wider tire or on another setup (RWD/FR).

[Kathryn]

Maxxis yo!

[redgst97]

Miata = Cooper
Mazda3 = Cooper
Torrent = Cooper
Eclipse = Dunlop
Dually = Goodyear (factory)

[admedlin]

I'm running Pirelli P6 tires. They are actually very good tires, but just too big. I had a friend who worked at Audi, he happened to have a set of these tires at his house from an Audi TT, so he gave them to me. They are 235/45/17 wrapped around Rota Subzeros:

[Five*Star*]

I'm running Falken ZE-512's on my eclipse right now and some BFG's on my Blazer.

Falken are the best tires for the money if you ask me. I prefer them over, Maxxis, Hankook, Kuhmo.

[rollin_s2k]

fuzions = shit (had to borrow a friends at the last second and tore them to shit at little talladega)
BF goodridge are good but flat spot easy
I have ran some Kumho MX's and they are good price and stick great

[Deaf Pimp]

BFG KDW-2's... i love them.

[KevinT707]

kumho 711 escta... I have had them for a year now and still have over 65% treadlife.. Good for wet weather...
Hells no, 711s are the worst tire you could ever find. When I had them, I would spin all day when the ground was wet. Felt like I was on a patch of oil.

fuzions ZRis are ok, not the grippiest, not bad. I put them through tgp and they were fine, any tire can be tore to shit if you abuse them. +1 on MX sale on tirerack yay!

[Wurm]

4 different type im poor cant afford new tires yet

[The Yousef]

i just installed some BFG KDWs.....i figure i'd give these a try...i hear nothing but good things about these...

if they suck....i'll go back to my Pirelli Pzero Neros....

[magneto198]

My Michelin's are awsome. My original OEM tires and still rollin after 30k miles. And i drive it like i stole it.

[FAHHQUE700]

I had Sumitumos, even with 315/35-17 they still can't hook at all, in the rain it's almost as bad as a bald drag radial. Had Nitto 555Rs w/ 315/35-17 DRs in back, they're okay, but on the strip they suck, rain is actually decent. Had Toyo T1-S on the 240, they're were just like a regular ole tire wasn't too happy for what I paid for them. Figured the T1-R would be alot better I tried them, they're good on the dry, but suck arse in the rain. I now have 275/35-18s up front and 295/35-18s rear... BFG KDW IIs G-Force, they're by far the best HP street tire for all around, and the best in the rain.
I cut 1.9 0-60 on the track too, but they still spin like hell on the track.

[~The_Duke~]

I just bought 2 215/45R17 Fuzion ZRis to match the ones that are on my front 2...

I am overall happy with them at the moment...
