Not trying to beat a dead pony, but tire technology changes all the time. And yes, I have used "search".

I have a daily driven, mildly modded E55 that I need new rear tires for.

If I can get 2 seasons out of them, great.

I want to be able to hook up when needed, and I don't want to kill the handling of the car.

I am sure there are a million opinions out there, so let's hear em!!!

 

Two recent threads on this same question.

 

These have the highest rating on tire rack.com

Pilot Super Sport(Max Performance Summer)



Thoughts?

 

The PSS's are a good street tire. Considering though that I can't seem to get any street tire to hold the power the 55K puts down I may consider a cheaper set of summer tires next season. The nice thing about the Michelins is that I will have the next set of rears prorated due to the Michelin promise plan. 8K miles and they are toast.

 

I just put on Hankook Evo f&r...decent price, and great reviews for both wet and dry...so far they are great!...also, very nice handling, ride, and very quite. They have my vote

I highly recommend the Hankook Ventus V12's. They are a really nice tire and are much easier on the wallet than most other brands.

 

A lot depends on what kind of driving you do.

 

Nexxen's suck. Tons of visible tread depth left on my rears. No traction whatsoever.

They are like black rubber turds wrapped around my wheels.

 

LOL... Tires would be perfect for Turdster

 

Im in the same market come spring time

 

check out the Continental ExtremeContact™ DWS not too bad on pricing, and they replaced the ContiExtreme 3

 

PSS FTMFW.

Close second would be Nitto NT05's.

 

Hankook Evo's are going on mine next, they were better on my M3 than Michelin PS2's and 1/4 the price.

 

+1

 

+1 to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS's. Been running them for about a year and they are great!

 

Nitto NT05s holding up nice over here. Most likely will go PSS next time around though.

 

Hankook ventus v12's hook very well. Best straight line traction street tire I've used yet. Recommend to me by speedriven. Much better than the nitto nt05 I had before and those were closer to a race tire than street

 

DWS are all seasons.. The DW are the summer tires, which I had an are awesome.

 

yup - the conti's are nice

 

You have these on your ????

 

I'm also running these. They handle great, are quiet and stick pretty well but I can still light up the rears at will. Looking to do an LSD next on my car because power without traction is useless.

 

 

yes

 

lol +10000000000... when i bought my car they came with nexxens and i thought i needed a LSD to get traction... turns out 80% of the traction loss was the nexxens! once i changed to hk evos i liked my car a lot better

 

Currently running these tires and they are incredible!!
Highly recommended.
