Best Tires?? Recommendations!!

[Adam]

I installed Kuhmo XS tires on my car last month and I like them a lot. So far racked up about 500 miles, two autocrosses and one track day. They definately grippier than the PS2's and about 1-2 sec faster on a one minute autocross than the PS2's. Definately a great tire if want max performance on the street and want to run a street tire for the track.

I like these.

"Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec (Extreme Performance Summer): The Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec is Dunlop's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for serious sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts looking for race tire-like traction on the street or for use in autocross, drifting and track events. The Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec is for drivers who don't want to wait as long for their tires to come in during initial runs, as well as drivers of lighter weight vehicles who are often confronted with the task of working tire temperatures up to the point of generating peak grip."

I almost bought the Star Specs as they seem to be a great tire and popular now, then I stumbled accross these XS Kuhmo's. Besides being slightly less expensive, the Kuhmo's seem to be slightly quicker for autocross and have have a bit more grip. Here are results C&D had at the Tire Rack track.

My old thread resurrected... I'm the OP... I ended up sticking with the OEM PZeros N3s.

I"ve had them for almost a year and they still look great...of course I"ve only put about 3-4k miles on the car... they stick like glue. I love these tires.
