Super vague question. What kind of driving? Slicks, All season, summer tires??

Stretching tires is for posers and hard parkers.

Got a couple.

Hard/Spirited driving.(Summer)
-Michelin Pilot sport AS$200 per tire (2254018)
-Bridgestone RE 11$240 per tire (2254018)

I just recently got some

Bridgetstone 760 pole position (2254018)


So far great tire running these on my S14. Took them on a mountain run and damn they are responsive.
Just rained today so I haven't tested wet traction, but so far I like them alot for the price.

[Jordan0332]

Just in general, most people run a tire they atleast like on their daily, sorry that was a stupid and vague question.

Tire stretching in my opinion is stupid and a bov waste of money......its also not the safest

What isn't safe about it?

[Jordan0332]

I didn't mean to say bov...tire stretching on a lot of cars around here is retarded because over half of sidewall is under the rim. The sidewall is not meant to be driven on and with huge amounts of camber with stretched tires your driving on a lot of sidewall.

Your tires won't last long and I'm sure going a reasonable speed on the interstate is a good way to need a new set of tires.

[!Zar!]

Weird, my car must've never gotten the message.

Also, the arrow on the tire which indicates the leading edge indicates that my tire is not rolling over more so than it should be.

This is true for my 215/40 rt615k's on a 9j, as well as my 215/40's on a 595ss on a 10j.


Nice try though.

My friends must just be slacking on old ass tires, or are in desperate need of an alignment.

I want them to make a comparison with the new RT615K. Thats another tire that's been out a while but havent really heard alot of. My impression is that people are still turned off with how gooey the old RT615 would turn, after heat cycled.

I enjoyed my PS2...but they stupid expensive.

Going to try Feddy RSR next summer.

[fyneyoungstunna]

I want to know about "all-seasons"

For as much money you'd spend, and strictly summer tires, I'd go with Nitto NT05 for that price range. Alot better than RSRs.

THREAD JACK hahaha
They suck in all-seasons. Pure branding on tire companies part. Only get 10* lower operating temperatures. Still suck in Ice and Snow.
All-Season vs. Winter / Snow Tires (http://www.tirerack.com/videos/index.jsp?video=23&tab=winter)
Get some BLIZZAK's if you are worried about winter driving.

[AS240]

Dry: Kumho Ecsta XS
Wet: Falken 452 or Federal 595

[jdsr20det]

BFG g-force kdw2 awesome in hot weather (summer tire) wet or dry,

Then for winter either continental extreme contact dws or BFG G-force super sport

[nujabe]

Just picked up some fedral Evos 595. My cars been sitting for a few days so Havent tryed them out. I hope there ok.

They actually dropped the Evos? Last time I looked them up, I was still in Japan. They were hyping these up to be comparable to Advan AD07/08s.

Wet: Falken 452 or Federal 595

Falken 452 sucks in real rain. Unless you like sliding around... haha

Hankook V12 has been my favorite all season including Wet condition.

I thought the V12's were summer tires. My friend has them and loves them in the rain. I was going to get them till I saw the R-S3.

[rebornS14]

really happy with my hankook v12 evos for daily and waiting to try the RS3's which i only heard good things about.

[soryu]

Federal 595 with brotas yo.

[towlie]

Bang for the buck: dz101, sdrive, nitto neogen

I loved my kdw2's. I want to try a Bridgestone out, maybe re11 or the 9760

Maybe a federal rsr but for the price I think i could get something better

[hybridsk8r]

RT615K's for the track.
My whole family runs Falken ziex912's

[BoostSlideWayz]

Supra im using Falken ZE 502s, 245 50 16 rear. 225 in the front and i love them, they seem to handle great. They handle great and just seem to grip very well. I typically take it out for canyon runs and the turns are very sharp at times yet its rare for the wheels to lose traction. I dont have a tone of power. But for my stock HP they are great.

For the s13, im running Kuhmo 716's 195 60 14 They are decent but i dont do grip with it so they are to be wasted soon.

RS-3 is one on worst one in Rain though. Holy sticky only on dry weather.

I believe V12s are considered Summer performance tires but wet performance is very very good.

Highly recommended!!!

[nujabe]

Flip there awesome pretty sticky. lucky I live in Cali were its 75 in fall.. Idk if there on advan level but for a entry level tire there awesome. tread patern is really nice.
