Re:tires...what to get ???

yokohama es100's are the ----....good pick

Re:tires...what to get ???

I think only cheap <$100 tires need apply on HMT lol. Especialy, since most of us just burn them down in short order.
I have somewhat limmited personal tire exp., but I am VERY pleased with my Azenis. Straight line grip on the street has been great, even when lined up w/ a car on DR's

Quote:

`ve had dunlop sp9000, FM-901, W-10 and Azenis, had them with the exact same size, and suspension setup
i tried them all on the same mountain course
i`d take the W10s over the all of them.
for the price 901 suck man., ok stiff side wall, ok traction but VERY unpredictable.
Azenis are ok, very good traction but take a good while to warm up, while it is still not-so preditable.
W-10 warms up in no time, almost the same grip as Azenis, very preditable, but mine set lasted only 6 months. that`s with very heavy mountain runs. plain street duty i think it will last 10000 + miles.
BUT they`ve already stop making W-10s

Nice, good to see some first hand side by side comparisons. So since they dont make the W10's any more, what would you choose. The big factors being Grip (launchability :) ), price, and a distant last, tread life.

Re:tires...what to get ???

the baller tires I can think of right now for the street are, sp9000's, TA KD's, SportCOntact 2's, AVS sport's, P-zero corsa, and then maybe azenis at the bottom of the list. the ultimate "street tire" in my opinion is adan neova. they last quite a while and make azenis look lik bitches for stickiness. I personally run AVS Es100's on the street an Proxes RA1's on the track.

Re:tires...what to get ???

the neova is giving me ---- as far as finding somewhere that sells them online, I found a picture though:

Re:tires...what to get ???

seriously, you wouldn't think it, but www.tires.com has fantastic prices, I got my ES100's shipped to my door for like $350 or something like that (215/45/16)

Re:tires...what to get ???

the toyo proxes 4's are nice on the road for handling and grip, decent in weather too.

and they manage 2.2 60's at the track on my coupe
