Dunlop dz101's
Achilles ATR sports
Federal SS 595's
Falken Ze - 612's

Whats the best bang for the buck here?
and preference. Im going to be going 7 miles to work and 10 miles to train station for school next fall.
Dont plan on racing, drifting or driving aggressively.

Im also in SoCal so we do get a bit of rain in the winter

(Ive read plenty of reviews on all, but its all the same stuff just from a bunch of different car owners and driving styles...wanted to see what your guys "reviews" were)

 

Neither...
Check Hankook V-12's
Work great on the Z for what you are looking for.
Very quiet tire too.

 

Federal and falken are too loud. Check into toyo proxes t1 sport and hankook ventus.

Just bought nitto neogen, will let you know how those are if interested

 

Go for continetal dw if youre on a budget.

Get michelin pss if you want real performance.

 

Those continentals are more expensive than the V12's

 

I have Federal SS595's and they are very loud for a daily driver.

 

Im grabbing new rears and I'll probably go with either the v12 or the vdresstein ultrac sessanta. there from europe. probably the sickest tread design I've seen. I have them now and there wicked. great traction for the rain. I live if Vancouver. rains like a ***** here. overall sick tires. You can find them on ebay they go for about 200-300 a tire depending on size

 

Vreds look cool, they look like they are mounted backwards. Heard only good things about those.

 

In the list I have great luck with the Dunlops. Off the list, I would also agree with the Hankook V12 mentioned. Great tire and quite popular.
