HELP! I need new tires!
I have been doing a lot of research and reading on the forums and haven't really gotten anywhere.
I know I'll sound dumb when I say this and people might comment on here anyway but screw it. I'm not the type of person that wants my passengers (girls I take on dates) to have the harsh and noisy ride that the FR-S comes with. However, I still want to "show off" a little bit and get the car sideways, tires squealing and all. So what I need are some good tires that aren't louder or stiffer than the stock tires, but have just a little bit more grip than the stock tires. Please give me your thoughts and ideas. I'm down for criticism. |

MPSS FTW! The prius tires are LRR. Low rolling resistance. They are a quiet tire when driven conservatively. They also slide nicely. I like grip. I have 245/35/18 MPSS. |

I also have MPSS they're arent loud, they grip much, much better than stock. I was able to slide mine pretty easy, on accident, with no traction control and just shifting from first to 2nd.
I cringed a bit when I slid though because MPSS aren't cheap tires. If anything go down to your local America's tires and ask whats the cheapest they got

Dunlop RE760 BFG Sport Comp 2 Sumitomo htr z III The Sumitomos are louder. I have owned all three. |
