I've been trying to pick out a new set of tires and it's killing me. Everytime i think i find a decent tire, i come across something putting it down.
Is there a web site that compares high performance tires side by side with results?
I am bouncing between , Toyo T1R, Nitto NT555, Pirelli P Zero Nero MS, Conti Extreme Contact.
Potenza 03 pole position, PS2, and Pilot sport AS tires are out of my price range.
Has any of you tested several brands and found one you really like?
I'm going with 255/45/17 and 245/40/17 in whatever tire i find fitting for me.
I want a tire that will take the twists like a pro and still be able to handle the drag strip pretty well. I'd prefer twists over the strip but, i don't want to give up too much on the strip.

 

go to www.tirerack.com, they compare numerous tires and also give consumer reviews.

 

Tirerack is a great site. But it does not include some tires, e.g. Toyos.

 

yeap, +3 tirerack

 

Sounds like you need R compound tires. All those tires listed up there are nice, but they are still just street tires. If you want to embarass cars in the twists and have grip at the strip look into competition tires at Tire Rack. The problem is you said that some tires are out of your price range so I doubt you want to be replacing tires as often as R compount tires would require. I also doubt you are going to find too many people that have taken multiple sets of tires from your list to the edge to know which out performs which. Just go with the opinions on Tire Rack or go with the price cause they are all street tires and will all be beat by R compounds tires.
