Best Tires?? Recommendations!!

[profpenguin]

I do autocross and I put on the Falken Azeni Rt-615 this summer for the first time. I have been quite happy with them.

They are priced competively, and have lots of grip. Also in the wet (Pacific North West) they seem to do quite well. They probably don't extract water as well as most tires, but under damp conditions, light rain conditions, I haven't had any issues. Even autocrossing in some heavy rain, they have done quite well.

I can't comment much on there wear, but I suspect they will not last as long as some more common type tires.

Grassroots Motorsports did a tire comparison between 4 or 5 autocross type tires a few issues back, and the Falken came out on top, when it came to lap times. Hence why I decide on them Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of $ to buy and try different tires so I depended on their opinion.

18" Michelin Pilot Sport N1's are what I have and love them.

Purchased just recently from the Tirerack. I didn't think the cost was that aweful.

Hell of a tire and you're keeping with the OEM recommendations for N spec. I know I may catch flak for that on this forum, but hey, I'm a Porsche pureist!!!

The Pilot N1's came on my car new and the steering repsonse was a bit sharper than the PS2's but they didn't grip as well. The PS2's seem to have a softer sidewall which also makes the ride a bit more compliant over the bumps at the expense of steering response. Overall I like the PS2's better.
