what tires you using?

what tires is everyone using here? and how do you like/dislike your tires.

Im using yokohama es100. the control is awesome. I can make crazy turns without a slight tire screetch, braking also improved like a ****.

Only downside with these tires are that the thread goes away too quickly and its loud.

wrong forum but i have Potenza RE950 and upgrading to maybe Falken FK-451s later on, tread wear is nice and deep, may not be as sticky as AVS100 but they will last me for quite a long time. Rain traction is nice too

rain traction for the yokohamas r whack!!! cant get jack **** traction, I have to literally grandma slowly depress clutch,press gas in order to get traction. But even though it sucks in rain, I love the tires because they are good on dry.

Factory Firestones or Continental Sport Contacts depending on which set of wheels I have on the car, but both suck beyond redemption.

Tire I've most liked for street tire are Michelin Pilot Sports, good in both dry and wet, but still substandard to Azenis or MXs in dry for a street tire, although it rapes them both in the wet.

Kumho 712, sucks because they are the small profile (215/35/18) and they have had problems with grip. I can attest, I chirp them loose thru 3rd.

Nitto nt555 225/40/18...the only time they squeak/chirp/sqeal/whatever is if i'm making a fast turn and there's lots of painted lines on the road. On asphalt, they handle well. Friends who are following me always say i disappear on turns
