I've had Goodyear Eagle F1's front and back since the beginning of last summer and will expect to buy new rears (275/19/35) by the end of this year. Great tire, sticky through turns when you get them heated up. I will go with a cheaper pair of tire next but definitely feel like I got my money's worth after burning all these other cars on back roads!
Will be getting these next due to the cost difference.

To add to this can we get what size you're all running also? Looking to replace my old RE040's with possibly RE760's if the sizes work, or the RE-11's.

This pole is full of fail.
How about specific tires, not just tire brands. For example, I'd rather run walmart tires than Nitto 555s, but Nitto Invo's are great.
How about a pole with the most popular tires for our cars, mabye even by price range:
Budget:
Kumho SPT
Hankook Ventus
General Exclaim
Mid-Grade:
Nitto Invo
Nitto Neo Gen
Toyo T1R
BFG KDW2
Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta
Ultra Baller:
Advan Sport
Pilot Sport 2
Bridgestone RE-11's

NiTTo 555's run great, I don't get much rain here so those who are going to start crying stating they suck in the rain, well so do you!!!
I need some new shoes real damn soon & having a hell of a time finding some vredestein's in my area, was also thinking about Cooper Zeon 2XS, anybody have any feedback on this tire???

Just had the Nitto Neo Gens A/S put on the car. 245/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear. The car had Toyo proxys on it when I bought it and they were about done.
Anyway, the Toyos were a summer only tire. What good is a summer only tire if you live in a climate that drops below freezing 6 months of the year?
I don't plan to ride in the snow or sleet, but I was told you should not even use a summer tire when the temps dip down to freezing. What's up with that?

I have the original 2005' 17" rims.
I loved the original Bridgstone RE040 F- 225/50/R17
R- 235/50/R17
They were great in the rain and had a very controllable drift. I got almost 19,000 mile out of them.
I have also ran the Michelin Pilot Primacy and F- 235/ 45/R17
R- 245/45/R17. Nothing special about them.
I am going to the Bridgstone RE960's next week and will let you know when I get them broke in and it starts raining in California.

Toyo T1R's on the second set, they are good by me. Have done great on every trip to the tail of the dragon, wet traction/dry. I dont drive in the snow, not yet atleast.
