Today i receive my new set of wheels (Axis Milanos 19") 8.5F and 9.5R. Its time to make the tire purchase but i don't know whats brand is good in dry/wet conditions. I want to run 245/35r19 and 275/35/r19....Need some help or advice before make the purchase. THANKS!

 

Toyo T1r's Taino.....the tires are super quiet and excellent grip

 

+1 for the nitto neo-gen's

 

+1 from Status!!! Grip is great with these tires!

 

Michelin "Pilot Sport" PS2

 

BFGoodrich KD. The best gripping street tire I've ever owned

 

Toyo T1R .. Rick @ status got a good deal going on them right now...

 

Ahhhh where did I say Nitto's I said Toyo's and I got them from Status

 

T1-R.... not too shabby

 

i think nitto is made by toyo, so that's why he tacked it onto your post

nitto 555's have pretty weak grip, btw

 

BF Goodrich KDW-2's:

Good:

- Super grippy when warm
- Good wet traction
- Stiff sidewall
- Bad-*** tread pattern
- Won't break the bank ($70/tire less than stock OEM RE040's)
- Great compromise between street and auto-x tire

Bad:

- Loud as fawk (They have quieted down a slight bit since initial install)

 

Potenza S-03's here, great dry grip and decent when wet.

 

Continental ContiSportContact2........they're BIG.

 

RE050! not bad, not good. Somewhere in between. Decent dry traction, decent wet traction. Good lateral traction though.. lol. Stock tires s :-D

 

add another one to the Toyo T1Rs....great tire

 

+1 on toyo t1r, never driven them in the rain but dry traction is awesome. I was worried when car and driver said they werent that good but I love them. Plus there not that expensive for a performance tire. I was going to buy eagle f1 gs d3 and they were a little over a $1000 and i got the toyos for $850. The tread looks mean in person.

 

Falken FK-451B's

Pros:
Great Dry grip
Good Treadlife
Excellent price

Cons:
A little noisy
Poor wet traction (I only drove it in the rain a few times tho)

 

Goodyear eagle F1's, sorry can't compare to others cause I've ran these for so many years. I'm sold on em.

 

falken ziex 512

245/45/17 up front and 255/45/17 on the OEM 17's

They are pretty good for the price over the stockers. I am not sure how much of it is due to the width increase but they hook up better and I don't spin the rears nearly as much as I did the potenzzas. I still can spin them when its wet but its nothing like the OEM tires.

Edit: they also have a 30k mile tread warranty... I am not sure if discount will honor it since I can't rotate the tires but hopefully they hold up for at least 20k miles or so.

 

I have been running these same tires, but in the stock 17" sizes for the last few months.

Pros:

Excellent Wet Traction.
Good Mud Traction (Actually got out of a 4" deep mud pit with them up hill)
Excellent Snow Traction.
Medium Dry Traction (A little less than stock)

It takes longer to get to 130mph on these tires, at high speed (high temp) you seem to loose a lot of traction. For 90mph and below they are just fine. The do not get a squirly as the stock Potenza's, so latteral traction is improved.

I plan to keep on running these on the stock wheels for winter months and get a good summer tire for the rest.
