Best Tires, Favorite tires. Thoughts?
 
I've had many tires on my cars over the years and My favorite by far is the Potenza RE760 sport.
If you have a favorite tire post it up and say why possibly sizes ect just trying to see what everyone else is running.
Right now for me its 235 40 R18 RE760s on RPF1's.
Ride is great as it's always been owning these tires in most sizes grip seems quite a bit better than stock comfort is about the same.

Comfort? Last? Grip? I've heard good things, but haven't tried them yet.

I agree. Perfect balance of daily driving tire and light track use. I couldn't believe the difference when I switched.

May have to try them next time potenzas have always been good to me though.

Check out the reviews and specs at tirerack.com

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the highest rated in their respective catagory.

Pricey, but worth every penny and come stock on several 6 figure supercars.

You mentioned the Potenzas... very good tire, but I found them too stiff and rough riding. The Super Sports are in another class with a comfortable ride quality. It's a night and day differance and the grip is relentless.

can't find it on R17... only R18 that's a shame :(

Second that... for the street.

I like the Hoosier R6 for the track.

Pilot Super Sport. No question.

Discount Tire Direct also his similar prices. I know Tire Rack didn't have it available for 225/45/17. They do for 245/40/17

Depends on what what you use your car for, but for the street:

Warm climate
Michelin Pilot Super Sport > everything else

Varying climate
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 > everything else


That's not just my opinion, but what all the "expert" reviews and customer surveys say.
