I need to buy some new tires, what do u guys think of these brands. I need some think that will last and will grip to the ground, when i launch.
i have 235/50 R17 rear, 225/50 17 front.

Falken Ziex ZE-512

Nitto NT NeoGen ZR

Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position

Yokohama ADVAN Sport


Thanks

 

see my sig

 

I got the same sizes.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Buying them again next time.



Look awesome too

 

Sticking with only the ones you listed here is my advice:

1. Yokohama ADVAN Sport
2. Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position
3. Falken Ziex ZE-512

Notice the Nittos didn't make the list. There's a reason for that.

 

Ze-512s wont' do that, they are an all-season, a great allseason tire, but no match for a dedicted summer tire

 

Did you have a bad experience with the neogens or with nittos in general? I've heard the neogens are decent, the ones to avoid are the 555s

I'll second the BFG KDW. I run the KDWS (second car I've had them on) and couldn't be happier. 245/45 F & 255/45 R.

 

Potenza RE960s. Excellent tires. Have a set (plus 0 sizes) and they outgrip the stock Potenza RE040s in the dry and the wet. In addition they're great at lower temps and they improve ride quality. My only complaint would be they are somewhat noisy, but not a huge issue with this car which is pretty loud in general. Don't let the summer-only fanboys convince you that any summer tire is better than any all season. Certainly not the case. Now some summer tires are better than all the all seasons in the dry, and I believe the Goodyears mentioned here are one of them.

+1 for the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS tires, they're hands down the best from the list you chose.

 

thought T1R's are good rubber? whys everyone hating on Toyo. Yokohama Advan Neova AD07's is what im going with...same performance characteristics as BFG KD's with better wear & cheaper
