Hopefully not the ones I'm getting that would suck they had the best wear rating for the value but only the evo v12 my buddy has them on his ms3 and about 25k and still look good

 

I do so many drag passes, I am hell on tires. The V12's should be fine for a DD.

 

I just got a set of Potenza 760s from Costco and so far they are the best tire I've owned. Previous tires were the stock ss/sc Pzeros, then to Kumho Ecstas, then to stock ss/tc Contis to General Exclaim UHPs.

Generals were a let down - only 20k miles for a tires with double the treadwear rating from stock. They also got really noisy and lost significant by 10k.

Contis weren't much better, but that little lip on the edge to protect from curb rash was nice. Wish every tire had it. Ok traction, but only got 20k miles.

Kumhos had promise, but I ended up trading the car in before I got any significant use out of them.

Pzeros were better than most give them credit for - great lateral grip and I got 32k miles out of them.

Obviously the Pzeros and Contis are expensive, and the Kumhos and Generals were around 600 installed. The Potenzas were 760 (but with Costco that includes road hazard replacements and nitrogen), but with a couple thousand on them so far they're sticky in corners, sticky in a straight line, and really quiet. The sidewalls are much stiffer than I expected - my ride is about the same on these brand new as it was on my worn-out Generals.

 

Wow, I was about to buy some Nitto neo gen's ....but if they suck then i wont... my question is this, What is the best all around tire for both a DD and for traction ?

I normally drive about 68 miles a day ( fyi )

 

On another note....how much will it cost ( in parts ) to fix a blown supercharger ( M62 ) ?

And no... mine is not blown : )

 

as long as the red matches your paint I approve

i've had thoughts of running a wheel with some red in it as well

 

Do you care how many miles you get out of them? A coworker got some Continenal DWS tires for his MS3 and was actually quite happy. They're all-season tires, but he said they had very good traction off the line, just can't quite keep pace in the corners with a good summer tires. But they also have a 50k mile treadwear warranty and only cost ~150 a tire.

 

Depends on what's blown, but I think ZZP sells various internal parts for it? Fairly cheap too if I recall right.

 

Dunlop Direzza DZ101's
i have these and they do the job!

 

I have heard alot of good about those tires

 

ya so far so good for me! i have only had them for about 2 months but all i know once you get them hot they stick well!

 

Maybe I will look into a set of them because these Goodyear Eagles GTs I have suck they get noooooooooooooo Traction at all

 

yah i really only knew about the nitto's as a performance tire but when i went into discount i asked the rep what was a good looking tire and gets good traction for a decent price and he told me about the dunlops and he was right!

 

my bs of the day sold the new tires that were suppose to go on her to engine joe. but picked this up in ft Huachuca for $25(normally $180+ shipping) and the guy gave me these for another $25 (probably giving to jerry) and found this next to the dumpster so i snagged it for curtains for the price of free.99 lol
saw this on my way home

 

o ya test n tune at sir this friday I know its short notice but it would be cool to get a little meet together. I'll be showing up round 1830. Probably wont run my car it needs new clutch. Plus its slow any how so whose all down to go? Yes its gonna be hot so don't bitch ill have a cooler of water and ice.(for cars and people lol)

the power of an uber camera...

 

I actually took those with my kit lens the 18-105VR. When my new lens comes in this week I will have some interesting shots up.
