what are you looking for in a tire? uber sticky? wet weather friendly? dry use only? long lasting?

 

[sandspeed]

I've been cruising on Nexen N3000s for a while now and really enjoy the grip, ride, performance, and most of all the price.

check out edgeracing.com thats where I ordered them from

do to being in florida it rains alot so a tire that is ok in the rain. mostly looking for a tire that grips very well especially on take off! i keep spinnig like crazy in 1st and 2nd!

i used to run falken ziex xe512 used to spin first and second now i got falken azenis st115 cant even chirp 2nd now

well I cant praise the BFG gforce sports enough. Wet weather grip is great, take corners very well and no road noise. I dont chirp any gears. they do spin in first on hard launches which is what I would expect from a street tire

These aren't listed by you, but I'm running Yokohama S.Drive tires. Absolutely amazing. Great for autocross, and they perform really well in both dry and wet weather. They do good in snow too. I managed to have to drive home in the snow twice last month.

Ive had the toyo t1r with the stock rims....gripped pretty well on take offs.

 

[tweetyspeed]

ended up going with the nitto neo gen tires and they grip bad as~!!!! they are actually an all season tire but the launch, cornering, and stoping is unbalievable! hoping to do some auto x on them this weekend so more info to come here very soon!(drive2)

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position

^thats what i have, if you ever get the potenza's make sure they are Pole Position series of it.

These are the best tires i have ever owned. NEVER buy toyo proxes IMO, they are the worst tires ive ever owned. the cheap tires were better than those toyo's

been running the rt 615's for about a month or two now, no issues in rain, great handling. hooking up off the line can be an issue if the tires aren't warm though. all in all they seem to be a GREAT tire for the money.

Why would anyone in Florida buy an all season tire? Summer tires, or UHP tires, are way better in the dry AND wet than all season tires.

they were actually designed to be a summer tire by compound and grip! but found out they do good all around the board so called them all seasons!!!

Is there some basis for this claim?

 

[tweetyspeed]

so the results are in... nitto neogens are amazing in auto x! went from the falken 115 to the nittos and very happy with the switch! highly recomended tire for all!

dude ur whack the rt615s are superior to all the tires u listed. the only downside to an rt615 is the tire life and kinda weak wet handling. i went from neogens to rt615s and it was a tremendous improvement

i never had the 615 and never trashed them either! i wanted the 615 but didnt have the money!!!!!!! i had the 115 falkens! make sure you know all the facts before you start telling people the are "whack"!

 

[Tom03es]

Falken 115?!?!?

 

[solo_ryder]

I am currently running 215/40/17 neo gens on my mx3. At first I didn't like how they handled but they have since settled in and I have to say that for a tire that seems to have a softer sidewall then what I was running before (205/40 yoko avs es100) they are a good tire. They do not squell on the pavement, are good in the rain and they are very quiet compared to my yoko's. I would recommend them as well considering I got them for a fair price.

you must not be making that much power the nittos for me were terrible. I spun in third with those. I switched to the falken azenis and now i spin first and some of second and thats it.
