As title says, not looking to spend a ton of cash. The car put down 303whp/350lbft
I don't need nt01s to mess around on the streets and daily drive it. Was looking at neogens/invos seen that some people recommended them but I really don't know tires that well to make a good decision. Any opinions? |
Nice
|
what tire size are you looking at ?
|
Dunlop Direzza DZ102
|
I have the DZ101's and I'm happy with them.

I got these last summer when they first came out. They where out of some of my 1st choices figured I give these try. When I bought them I thought they were 320 tread wear they are 460. So not as sticky as I thought but they got me 2.1's 60' last summer. Lanching really soft also. Just got my powell s1 mount in and testing it this month at the drags!! |

I'll look into the dunlops for sure now, just want something that won't spin as bad leaning into 2nd gear |
Conti's ExtremeContact DW. They're very affordable for a serious brand name summer tire, excellent in the rain, very comfortable, will give you many miles and dry grip is very close to top summer tires. If you want the best traction for the buck, there are better tires. If you want the best all around summer tire for the buck, the Conti's are very hard to beat.
Btw, if you get a good summer tire like the Dunlops or Conti's, you have to come to AMP this summer! lol |
Loved my Dunlops but they have worn like crazy and are starting to leak. They need to be changed so I'm in the market now also.

I bought the 102s last summer as well and I've been impressed. I just wanted something with decent handling characteristics and longer tread life since I use r-comps for autocross. |
I've had my DZ101's for 2 years and they still have a lot of tread left.

if your on a budget, give the firestone firehawk wide oval indy's a try. friend has been using them on his GTO at the strip for 2 years now.
Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 225/40R18XL 92W BSW - tires-easy.com |
I don't mind spending a little more on something that will be of higher traction. Just don't want to spend too much. Looked at a lot of reviews of the extreme's. Gonna get them priced up at a local shop tomorrow.
|
Just look at
Dw's V12's 555's S drives DZ102's What ever is sale grab a set. Overthinking tires for this car is a waste of time it's gonna spin if u don't watch the throttle lol. |

That is a great price. The main negative of that tire, if they're going to be used mostly for street driving, is the noise. They sound like an offroad tire on certain types of pavement.

Nice point. I'm sure my exhaust will tune the tire noise out :)

It's more than typical road noise. The offroad tire comment is not an exaggeration. :lol:
My car isnt a quiet luxury car, lol. It's loud as it is, and I like it. |
+1 for the conti's. I'm on my 3rd set I like them so much. I go through tires rather quickly though, but its definitely not the tires fault haha.

There is a mail in rebate on the DZ102 through the end of this month......
We have the Direzza ZII on closeout sale for $ 21 more per tire for a nice upgrade |

I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Pricey yes. But they lasted me 3 seasons (7 months each)
Great DD and decent AutoX tire. I drove them hard on the street too. If I didn't autox they'd have lasted me 4 seasons. Also amazing rain performance. If you want a good performance I'd go with RS3's. I keep hearing from autox guys with Direzza's once you start sliding they glaze and your lap is hooped. |
