I had them, and loved them. They were good in the dry, great in the rain, smooth and relatively quiet (depending on pavement). The only problem is my rears were just about wore out after 1 summer. Also the cost is pretty high.

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.

 

just got some nitto nt05 (245/35zr19) for the front and pretty happy with them so far.

 

General Exclaim UHPs. Great bang for the buck.

 

BFG Drag Radial 295/35-18 on the reaer for summer. Eagle F1 275/40-18 for all other seasons. Bridgestone RE050 RFT 255/35-18 up front all year long.

 

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???

 

NT555's suck in the rain.

 

Is that a fact spoRk???


What do you think of the Vredesteins or maybe the Cooper Zeon 2XS, and consider some of us don't live in weather hell?

 

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?

 

so this is one of those opinion polls that leads to no solid answer?

Nice, you will enjoy them a lot!

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.
I am going to

 

I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on my 03 and absolutely love em!!!
Much better ride and grab than the Potenza's IMO.

 

I'll be getting the BF Goodrich KDW2's for Spring-Summer-Fall 2010. So far I've read very good things about them.

 

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.

 

Dunlop Z1 Star Spec - superior wet and dry handling!!
