The great tire poll
I'm surprised that no one has thought of this yet. I'm sure the tire sponsors here would appreciate this one.
What tires are you all running?
I'm still on stock Bridgestone Potenza RE050s. Except for the treadwear, I'm very satisfied with them, they are very grippy all around, both wet and dry. For my next set, I'm leaning towards Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

Wouldn’t it be more informative to specify the tire model (as well as the manufacturer)?
I wonder if the survey will be valid since it names 13 different manufacturers, and most of our members have experience with a much less number of tires. I suspect people will vote for the best tire they've owned out of less than 3 or 4 different brands at most (probably one or two).

This poll is not for which tires you think are best or how many tires you have experience with, it's for which tires are you running NOW. It is a simple "what do you have" poll, not an opinion poll.
They should. One is for straight line, drag racing grip while the R88s are for a road course. That said, however, I think the R888s are better - even in straight line grip - then the BFG DRs I previously had on.
+1. currently on Toyo t1r's and drive a lot in dry/wet with no complaints. was going to swap to vredestein's ssentara or whatever the hell they are when I needed to - ordered some new wheels though and it would have cost me a bit more after shipping to get them instead of the package deal. hope these falcon fk452's are good value/performance tires and stick in the rain enough.

A better survey would be: "If you have replaced your OEM tires, what brand did you select?”
