nitto's for the loss.

Kumho Ecsta SPT's are hands down the best tire for the money. My brother has them on his RX8 and he has over 35,000 miles on them and they still have life left in them!

What about the Dunlop Star Specs? I don't have them but have heard good things about them from some of my autox friends. They are supposed to be good wet/dry and are pretty reasonably priced.

YUP^....keep them coming....but it seams that we have had the top 4/3 tire suggestions over and over so those just might be the best bang for your buck.?

You'll continue to think that, until you hydroplane and fly off the road.

Yes they're awesome tires. But they are not cheap at all. Lol

I have Toyo T1Rs, they aren't that expensive and seem to be a very good tire

Falken 452's are what I'm running now. I paid $750 for all 4 mounted and balanced. 245/35/19, 275/35/19. They're not bad in the rain, have good tire wear UTQG rating, and are pretty sticky when warmed up. Much stickier than my first set of tires (Nexxen garbage, although they served their purpose).

555's are one of the worst tires ever, at any pricepoint. For value tires, Toyo T1R or Falken FK452 are really good.
