I prefer 595 SS over BFG gforce sport. More grip, and are quieter.

595 RSR over RT615 More grip and more consistent

Toyo T1R's and 595SS/RSR are great.

Nexxen's rock too, they don't like to die.


If you are going for some serious shit, get your hands on some of them Maxxis tires

I personally think the HTRZIII (not the II or I) are the BEST tire you can get for the money. They grip as well as the RE050 at about half the price. They grip in the rain, and have a 300 treadwear.

Can not got wrong with the HTRZIIIs.

I'm running these on my S2000 right now and I have gotten other people hooked on these.

I can get you any tire you like, let me know.

i kinda like how well my direzza Z1 grip... and i like how the DZ101 and 595SS don't chunk.... for some odd reason I feel like my FM901s feel just like the 595ss. I really like how comfortable and quite the SP Sport Maxx are. They don't chunk either...

Boo they don't even carry the RSR's in Canada. I was running the RS's front and rear for drift. Was not a good tire for up front really wasn't that grippy and created understeer city. Now in the rear they are a different story really liked them. They were cheap, smoked well enough, and didn't chunk plus they lasted a long time.

I will definately not cheap out on front tires this year!!!

I have BFG GForce Sport and I <3 them.


Tires I had in the past were all-season, so its not really comparable to what I have now (or most of the posts in this thread).

i live in florida and i had BFG KDW2's on my daily. they're great tires in the wet. they're resistant to hydroplaning, and have pretty good grip in the dry (for having a 300 treadwear rating). they dont grip for shit when they're cold though.

on the plus-side, they lasted almost 30,000 miles, which was a lot better than i was expecting with a whack-ass alignment, and some pretty spirited driving.

I've just bought myself some nice Falken FK452s. They're easily the most popular tyres amongst us UK guys. People report similar (sometimes better) performance than F1s, but a lot cheaper. Even on track.

I run re01rs all around for autocross (sts). I like falken 615s too, a bit cheaper and very responsive but not quite the same grip.

I recently made the switch from Dunlop Direzza to the General Exclaim UHP. The difference was huge! IMO you can't beat the wet/dry traction from the Generals for the price. i've also heard that the 452s are a good value also.
