Also the Bridgestone's worked best for me.......although no matter what mashing the gas at less than 60mph leads to no traction despite having any kind of tires
I love the Supra TT :drool: It doesn't handle much, but it's great :thumbup: Have you ever had Dunlop SP9000 or Goodyear F1 GS-D3?

*scratches head*

doesn't handle much? What do you mean? Ever seen Mani J with his T66 powered Supra? As far as what tires I've used.....I've gone through most of the top end Potenzas....some Nitto 555.....they sucked......Toyo Proxes......Pilot sports.......never done dunlop......I am thinking in a month as soon as I burn through these babies I'll get some really nice Pirelli tires....and see how they hold up......

I've also used Kumhos.....they were decent....but I actually felt they handled better wet than they did dry

Thanks
You're kidding right? I doesn't snow that much in Toronto?

I'm not getting pulled into this argument, Supra TT

Try the Goodyear F1 GS-D3. Their ride, wet traction, and dry traction has surprised me very pleasantly.

I don't think they get more than like 60 inches a year, do they?

I have to agree with others that have posted above. I have ContiExtremeContacts on my 03 Accord with 17s - and they are VERY nice. GREAT in the rain, and dry. Who knows about snow - but I have a winter/snow set - Blizzaks. I also have a track (autocross) set - Kunho VictorRacer V700s. Only 50 treadwear rating! haha

Out of curiosity, why did you get all seasonals when you have a set of Blizzaks?

The SportContacts are VERY good from what I've read. Never read anything about your ExtremeContacts. But BTW, I read that they're good for "light snow and slush traction" in R&T.

:naughty:

Its all good man

I just go by what I've used and what others around me use. I'd say a good 80% of all of us use S03s........I've never had a problem and I love the way the work.....however I was thinking of maybe picking up some Advan tires sometime
