Default Best daily driver tires

Hey guys thinking about getting ADR M-SPORT 19" 8.5 35mm offset front and 9.5 35mm offset rear. Was wondering what would be the best daily driver tires for these. I know nothing about tires sorry . Also best bang for buck. Thanks!

I have Goodyear F1's in 245/275 and have been impressed all around. Smooth and wet handling is excellent.

I'd get 265/275 sizes (I did actually). The 245/275 understeered too much. More than stock.

Depends on how much you want to spend. The goodyears are great. I've been running the FAlken 452 and am very satisfied with them...price is maybe $70 per tire less, but depends on where you buy.

Before buying tires check ...

Never mind. I said that a hundred times.

there is a new consumer reports REPORT out. Best tires are Mich PS2s, but they have bad wear. Best wearing tire is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or Dunlop SP Sport MAXX

+1 on the Dunlop Sport Maxx tires...if you are looking for just something inexpensive to roll around on...also check out the Dunlop Direzza DZ101's. Their performance is not like the Sport Maxx but they last a long time and are priced nicely.

good luck!

Seems like it would take a load of driving for them to uncover tire wear, but I suppose they could get a pretty close guesstimate.

they actually said they drove them for 12k miles, and based it off that. I think after 12k miles with a summer performance tire you would have an idea...

They also liked the BFG KDW 2, but they couldnt recommend them because of the extreme noise. They didnt recommend the SP SPORT maxx because of its dry braking ability was only average. The best wearing recommended tire was the Eagle F1 GS-D3

RIken Raptors 100 a tire grip nice and havent had a prob. yet. They were on my stock track rims. I think they are made by BFG.

Right now I have 452s and like them.
