I need some recommendations on a new set of tires...but not just for kicking around town. I'll be transferring to a new college this Fall and well to get to it I gotta drive up this big ass mountain. There's about 3 passing zones and that's it and even the passing zones are like 35MPH zones and "S" curves...it's gonna be a fun drive (probably in 3rd gear all the way, lol) but a hard one on a set of tires so does anyone have any suggestions as to what types to look into? Obviously not any more Z rated because they'd be gone in one weekend going up that mountain...are they're any brands that have decent grip to get me up the hill but not so soft that they'll be eaten up in one trip there and back home? Thanks!
