I was wondering... What kind of tires you all use on your rides and how do they preform/handle? I use Yokohama AVS ES100s (215/45/17). I love their grip and damn good looks.

215/45/17 Nitto Neo Gens. Bad ass in wet or dry, sticks like glue through the corners.

i'm sitting on a set of Yokohama YK420T's. i'd have to say that this is the best set of wheels i've ever owned. i've gone through many brands looking for a set that met my expectations.

Goodyear – noisy, poor tread life.
Michelin – began to chunk apart on me. I turn hard, but the tire shouldn’t be coming apart.
Yokohama - quiet, terrific grip, rips through the rain

Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S. U cant beat the price, handling and best of all the 400aa tread wear rating....oh yeah.. I had ES100s before, but i feel a little better with the pirellis. The wet handling is great, obviously because they're all season tires....and check this out...they weigh the SAME as ES100s. Im sold on these tires..

From my experience:

Yokohama Paradas - LOUD, great summer grip, scared for my life in the rain.

Goodyear F1 GS-D3 - VERY quiet for 35 series, Great dry grip (not as good as the paradas tho), TERRIFIC in the rain. Overall, these Made in Germany tires are very predictable and comfortable. I'd at least consider them if you're looking for tires.

i got my dunlop graspic ds-1s 205 55 15 in right now for winter. they suck for handling in the dry, but kickass in the snow.

my summer tires are dunlop fm901 205 55 15, they are on the loud side, but have loads of grip and were cheap.

i'm currently using kumho ecsta supra 712s 205/40/17. dry grip has been amazing and they're pretty impressive in the wet as well. i haven't had anything else on my car besides stock so unfortunately i can't give you any more insight. i like my kumhos though, and the price was right.

I use Kumho Ecsta Supras 205/45/17, and they grip the dry road on corners and sharp curves like crazy. They are good on wet rainy roads too but obviously not as strong as dry roads. They only problem I have with them sometimes is in winter weather, but other than that I think they are great considering the price class they are in.

I'm on ES100 right now a tad bit noisey since they have wore in alittle and because the compound is so soft I'm getting a little bit of camber wear ( i do have the ingalls kit and I'm -.67 on both fronts). Overall the tire is super grippy in the dry I wasn't to impressed with them in the rain.

I had before that Nitto450 hated this tires everything about them

I think I'm going to try something different next time maybe a bridgestone
