Best street Tyres

[OnTheBoost]

I know everyone has a driffrent and personal choice as to what tyre are best for everyday street use but what tyre would you recomend for price and performance??

[ASYLUM]

be interested in seeing opinions too.

atm i have a set of 18x8.5 rims going on the skyline and i am choosing between

Toyo Trampio TPG 245/40/18 all round

Nankang 245/40/18 all round

or Kumho Ecsta Supra 245/40/18 all round

I have always liked the Toyo brand but was told that the TPG's aren't good.

i have a friend who has Nankangs and says they are shit in the dry but good in the wet.

I have heard the Kumho's are quite crap.

all from people that don't stock the other tyres etc so be interested to hear from people that have had them already on there car.

all three are directional tyres which is why i am getting the same size all round, was going to get 265 at the back.

Nankang suck.

Kumho Ecsta Supra are apparently a AA grip rated tyre, but I hate them so much, I think they are just soft, not a good gripping tyre.

Then I have brigs GIIIs on the rear, they seem ok, they have worn better than the Kumos, and seem to grip ok once they have a bit of heat in them.

However Im not writing off the kumos yet, Im going to adjust the front suspension settings and see how I go from there, but first impressions (about 6-9months now) I dont like them.

I have Dunlop SP 9000's 255's at the rear, 235's at the front, $400 a corner

In the wet they are good, in the dry they are shit, the soft compound burns up so easily.

I use to have S03's, they are the best by far, but are $450 a corner

RT215s

arnt 215's almost a race compound and will wear out heaps quick on the road ???

Hey guys nd ladies,

I've heard Yokohama V102's are the shit wet and dry. But apparentley they are noisy -- Not that that makes two sh%ts of a difference when your 6 inch muffler is a full song:)

I had Yoko A539s on my old GTST and currently have Yoko ES100s on the GTR. Very happy with both, wet and dry.

i have the Khumos on the rear of my car 255 40 17 and i got them new about 2 months or so ago and they are already wearing a fair bit ah. Ive been driving a fair bit and there wearing heaps quicker then they should be i rekon.

Ive heard the Toyos are good. Pretty expensive thuogh arnt they?

I used to have Nangkangs on my silvia and i didnt really like them that much. Wore pretty well but yer the grip was pretty good but not as good as others ive had

[SeriesIIGTST]

I hate my Kuhmo's. Worst POS tyre i've ever driven on. No grip, wear quickly, noisy bastard of a tyre. I'm getting rid of them. Heard good things about Michellin's but be prepared to pay the $$

Michelin Pilot.

As a matter of curiosity are you guys over there allowed to run the likes of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and Pirelli P-Zero Corsas on the road, legally? Over here in the UK we are, just wondering, your car mod laws seem a lot tougher over there...

As long as it doesn't say "For Racing Use Only" we are OK. Usual load and speed ratings apply of course.

The best tyre I've used on the street is the Falken Azenis ( Pure Sport not Silent Sport ). I say that with respect to the cost ( quite good if you shop around compared to the other DOT aproved rubber out there ) they don't wear out too fast if you treat em right and great all around grip in IMHO. You can get a lot worse and you can get better but bang for your buck..........AZENIS are my choice. My 2 cents.

[2BNVS]

FAT32: i agree mate, i got the falken azenis 235 (f) 265 ® they have been pretty good IMO

ben...

I have had Kuhmo ecsta supra and hated them, were never that grippy and lasted 6 months. I have had two sets now of Yokahama S306 which last heaps longer and grip in wet and dry. very happy

[BigDatto]

Best tyres I've had were Michelin pilot SX-GT, hands down.

[R34GTX]

I've got Yoko A539's on my 34GTT and they grip well in both wet and dry conditions.

[knore]

Ill never buy anything but Falken RT215 Semislicks for the rear

since i got them in 245/45/17 along with whiteline handling kit and camber kit etc i have a really hard time loosing traction. Even in the rain they grip very well.

The wear is great, ive had them for about a year now and there is still heaps of tread left.

Awesome tyres, ide love to think how a GTR would handle with these on all corners.

and for $320 a tyre, definately the best
