good tires for dd
 

what are some good tires for daily driving? I bought some new rota grid 18s and jw what is a good tire to buy.

Define daily driving. What's your budget?

back and forth to work and some spirited driving. some where around 1200$

What width rim?

Nitto is decent, for DD is suggest NT555.
Michelin Pilot Super Sports and or PS2's also are an amazing wet/dry tire from what I hear.

yokohama S Drive is good too. IMO

These are great

I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports (235/30zr19 front 255/30zr19 rear) on Five Axis Staggered wheels. This is my DD and they are great dry or wet... and have super grip. You'll love them!!!:wub:

Pilot super sports were the most recommended to me but weren't in the budget, I got continental DW and the new Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2 was a close second. Nitto makes great tires too I've ran the neogen, nt555, and recently motivo. I liked all of them just depends on your priorities. What size are your wheels?

Tires I've daily driven on different cars:

Dunlop Star Specs: Ridiculous grip in dry (autocross nationals level grip), surprisingly decent wet performance, good price, and decent wear for the genre. This is the only tire I've bought twice. A little noisy. My current favorite by a landslide.

Dunlop Sportmaxx TT: Decent grip dry or wet, great wear, but I've never autocrossed them so no comment there. Just don't expect too much from them.

Sumitomo HTR Z III: Good dry grip, but they turn into greaseballs quickly under on petition conditions. Heavily spray them down after every run if you want to autocross on them. Wore quickly, bu overheating might have affected that.

Verdict: get Star Specs, because Star Specs.

Assuming based on your location that freezing weather isn't a concern, I'd say go for Pilot Super Sports. Excellent tire, quite stable with good feedback and very high levels of grip. They are also a bit more talkative than other tires in the category I've found. The tread wear is respectable, at least for a max performance summer...

I have the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 on my 18". They are about as sticky as you can get without going to a racing tire or a tire that wears out super fast. Great in wet too. Although it's it ever gets near freezing make sure you run a winter set of tires too like Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60s.

Yes I live in the lower part of Texas. So it hardly ever get below 30 degrees.
