Our site sponsor tire rack has plenty of reviews on their website:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/index.jsp

I would start there and set a budget rather than randomly asking for recommendations

Switched from Hankook V12 to Bridgestone RE-11 and I couldn't be happier. The Hankooks were great for the price, but the Bridgestones were just stickier.

Just go to Tirerack.com dude. Find the tire survey which ranks all the tires and purchase according to your budget and your needs.

Personally I recommend the Sumitomo HTR Z III. Great price, handling capability is more than enough for the street, no problems in rainy weather, and after 15k miles I have still have plenty of tread. I expect these to last me another 15k, easily. Simply a great value.

I wouldve bought either the Michelin PSS or Bridgestone RE-11s, if I could afford them.

True story! I had Hankook Ventus V12s on my car and a buddy of mine is running RE-11s and there really is no comparison. RE-11s are awesome tires.

Hello all:
I'm about 1/2 way through a set of Bridgestone Potenza's
and considering trying something else next time.
Anyone out there on Nitto Motivos.
Any comments - treadwear, noise, grip etc.?

On a budget for summer tires, Hankook Ventus V12 or Continental DW's.

Want an all-round best street summer tire, Michelin Pilot Super Sport (ran these before and will continue to run these with my new tire/wheel setup).

Want a track-duty tire with occasional street usage, Hankook RS3's.
