Best Daily tires? (daily tires for your toy car?) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I need new tires for my RPF1’s in the rear (hell, really in the front too), what do you guys run? What do you like?

I need something that can be found under 150 each, come in 255/40/17 size, and will grip well, and last a while.

These tires will be seeing daily driving, twisty-weekend cruises, some Auto-X events, and occasional GRIP track events. I have plenty of wheels and tires for drift days, I just need something nice, sticky, affordable and reliable to run on my nice wheels for daily cruising.

What do you all like? And where do you get them?

Hankook RS3s are the best bang for the buck right now...issue is its pretty soft so if you alignment is off and you're gonna daily the car, kiss them good bye.

Personally, I run nothing but Dunlop Star Specs up front and I'm trying out some General G-Max in the back right now

Yes, Dunlop Star Specs are the best tire for a daily that gets driven hard.

I recommend Hankook V12 EVO..

if you want RS-3's I'd get them now I here pricing is going up FEB1st if those wear too quick for you the V12's would be a good choice. i believe the RS-3's are cheaper than the V12's in that size right now too.
