theres a bunch of tire threads already. Basically general concensus is Michelin ps2 > good year F1 > Hankook evo 12. Thats from best and most expensive to cheap and decent for daily driving.

My Hankook evo 12s after 4 months with a car putting down 345ft pounds/torque

TemjinX2

Not saying that they don't last. I just like to go sideways. A lot.

+1 for Hankook Evo's

Great grip in all weather and nice in heavy rain, light snow band in the tire. Very pleased with the wear too.

AnimC32

+ 1 for Hankooks

My Goodyear F1s are bald on the rear, so I was searching on local classifieds for replacement last week. Lo and behold there is a local guy selling his gently used (thread is at 4-5/32, while new is 6/32) Toyo R888 R-compound tires for dirt cheap.

I had it installed the same day and the C32 was never the same... the car just refused to spin when the tires are warm and it grips like white on rice. I am hoping these tires will last me through the summer as the treadwear rating is only 100 But man, what a fun summer this will be

Try searching your local Craigslist for fun!

I really value wet traction, so i got Goodyear Eagle GTs. They're not as focused as the tires mentioned above, but wet traction is great and they wear really well.

How much are you guys paying to mount and balance?

rlddlr53

$600 for falken 452's, mounted and balanced with alignment.

TemjinX2

I'm paying $16 per tire for mount and balance. My buddy told me walmart only charges $10 per tire, but i don't trust them.

I personally still use PS2 since I got the stock rims on my car. But my friend with a 335bmw are using the new hankooks. He said they are alot cheaper and was rated higher on a average of testing between the tires.

I just put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on my rear wheels and so far I'm liking them. Very good traction and the only one with a warranty (if that means anything). I highly recommend them, I've installed a couple sets on Corvettes and they like them too.

I run F1's all round now.. did some research and got them for what I think was a decent price.

Do you guys stick to the recommended tyre pressure? (stock tyre size)

^ i agree, i had pirelli p zero's when i purchased my car and i changed them on the 11th of february to ps2's. i got them at dealer cost for $1200 for the set plus i paid for install and alignment, but they are the best street tires out there in my opinion. they are very sticky, but still allow you to go sideways if you wish and have the torque to do it. i would definately buy them again.

If you want Falkens go here for the best prices.

Unfortunately their shipping rates kill the price. Best price is from discounttiredirect.com, and DTD normally includes free shipping. If you go to the store (Discount Tire), they are normally a few bucks more per tire. Tell them to match the DTD price. I think install is $30 for all 4.

I myself have wanted some Falken FK452's for a while, yet after seeing good reviews on the Pilot Sport A/S Plus, I might go that route (they are more expensive, but higher treadwear...). Listening to both options/reviews from members
