What tire are you using now?

I have two kinds ..

I'm running Kumho ECSTA MX on my rear tires. I had a full set of four on my 18" wheels when I got them, and they're good tires. I had to replace two of them thanks to my own stupidity/neglect.

I'm running BF Goodrich g-Force KDW-2 on my front tires. They're what I got to replace the two shot Kumho tires. They're AMAZING. This is the second summer I've had them on, and I love 'em. A bit pricey, but so worth the money!
 
From what i have read and been told Falken makes a good tire. I personally use toyo proxes 4 and dont have anything negative to say about them. Treadwear seems to be good and they sure hold the road for me.
 
Yoko ES100 for the street, good life and wet/dry compromise

Potenza RE070 for the track, very grippy... but if I can't find more pulloffs I'll be buying RT615s

I personally wouldn't use the RT615s in the rain and they wear too quickly for daily driving IMO, but they are very sticky in the dry. I know CitizenPro daily drives his 615s w/ no complaints though.

I'm rolling on Falken FK-451's and I love them. Very sticky and the treadwear isn't bad on them.
 
I Have Eagle F1 Gs-d3 From Goodyear... They Took A While To Break-in And They Tramline Somewhat, But They Are Very Grippy And Handle So Much Better Than The Re050's And Re040's I've Had On Here.
 
i use yoko AVS ES100s right now. I really wanna try some Falken RT-615s though. If you can afford em, those are the s***.
 
I wouldnt Highly recommend the RT-615's.....but they've done me well. In dry conditions, they stick to the road quite well.....as far as rain goes, it does its job for what kinda tire it is. Ive had my close calls in the rain while braking really hard.....but overall i love the way they look and feel. Been rolling on em daily driven for over a year, and about 15k+ miles....still have about another 5-10k left outta them if i push it. I WILL be purchasing these again on my next tire purchase.

i just got the car a few days ago..17,500 miles on it

so technically, they lasted normal time frame lol
 
i had the stock tires for 51000 miles. surprised the hell outta me. i went with goodyear eagle f1 gs-ds or something and theyre AWESOME! the eagle f1s grip so hard from a stop. my girlfriend couldnt believe it when i launched the first time hard. much much better than the stock crap. wet traction is awesome as well. braking and driving is great, very good hydroplaning resistance, slips a little in turns if theres too much water but you cant help that. got mine for $95 a pop on tirerack.
 
Bridgestone Potenza RE750's
They're the best set of tires that I've ever had (next to my Toyo RA1's for autox :)) and I'll stand by them till the end.

Werd@! I love those tires I wore them out in 10 months!
 
I was on the original bridgestones for 76,000km's and that's nothing to complain about. Lets just hope the Falken FK-451's last as long or longer.
 
I'm on my 2nd set of Kuhmo 712's, but this will be my last set. I picked up some Eagle F1 GS-D3's from Tire Rack last week for $88 each.

The 712's start off pretty good for the money, but they get worse as they wear. They keep a nice progressive breakaway, but the wet traction starts to go away at about 30% wear, then the dry traction starts to slide at about half worn.
 
I own the General Exclaim UHP's, these tires are rated #1 on tirerack. Dont let the cheap price fool you!! These are the best tires for the money....Period! Absolutely awesome tires. Highly recommend!
