Daily Driver Tire Choice Poll
Just curious what tires folks are running as their daily driver tire. I've included some of the popular hybrid track tires as well.
|
Toyo Proxes T1R
|
I'm running Pilot Super Sports on stock wheels. Amazing tire.
|
I run RS3s but that is because I don't want to change tires for autocross. If I was only using them on the street though I would probably pick up a set of the Conti DWs (s for plural, not DWS). I have a set on my Legend and they are a good compromise for street performance. I can never use the RS3s at 100%, or even 80% for that matter, on the street.

I had picked up a set of bf comp 2 for about $350 installed. Not bad for the price.
Probably going super sport next. |
Super Sports or bust!
|
Michelin Pilot Sports but in A/S reason is they still are a awesome tire like the super sports but QUIETER and more ambient temp flexible.
|
I believe the consensus for multi-purpose track & daily duty tires have been the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Price I think is the biggest reservation people have on the tire. It has slightly worse dry grip (compared to popular track only tires), but better wear and wet performance.
|
this wasn't listed, but for the price its one of the best performance DD friendly tires you can buy. i ran them on my sti and loved them. however i now have RE-11's and i'm not that thrilled with them

I tried to capture as many tires as I could so I appologize if your tire of choice isn't listed but the feedback is still valuable.
|
I run the DW's because:
1. Price:Performance ratio 2. Reviews and tread life 3. Great wet traction and its a year round tire for me 4. Handles well with a bit more PSI (36-37 PSI) |
Personally, I hated supersofts on the street. Kills the joy at street speeds. Get a dedicated wheel/tire set for track.
I'd go for something like S04, or maybe even UHP A/S tire like RE970. The idea is NOT to give yourself much more dry grip, but improve wet grip over OEM Michelins. |
Michelin PSS and very happy with them. Great traction and wet performance. Very quiet and smooth. You definitely want much more dry grip on the track.
