Default What tires you runnin?

My Michelin pilot sports blow.... I give my car 1/8 throttle, the tireds spin for days. I'm looking at putting on nitto invo or nto5 tires. I've read good reviews about these tires.. Are there any more that are good? What do you run?

I have Falken F452. 275/40zr18, they hold the road real nice and the tread pattern has nice, even wear to them. I have had the tires since last June and they are still real good. I like them!

When I bought my WS6 rims they came with almost new Hankooks 275/40ZR17's. I haven't really put them to the test b/c I'm waiting for warmer weather and roads but have pushed them a little in the cooler temps (mid 30's-40's) and a little with wet roads and they have gripped nicely so I'm looking fwd to this summer.

had falkens fk452 before and they are a good tire espesially in dry, but they are like candle wax for the first 100-200 miles so go steady

i've now got continental conti sports, i had some before that were really crap, but these are like glue??

also depends on what pressures you guys run, i've got 31 psi all round

the pilot sports are suppost to be good from what i've heard though, very strange??

yokohama neova's...unbelievable grip, not very good for milegate. 295/30/19 in the back, 245/40/18 in the front. so sticky i can rollover a coin and it'll stick...not cheap though.

I have some Nexen 3000 rubber in 275/40 ZR17 and so far these have been pretty good. They grip alot better than the old rubber but I have not yet had the chance to do much cornering with them since the weather has not been too nice to me. Yes they are an economy performance tire but so far I like them.
