These 2, along with Goodyear Eagle F1's were the 3 that I considered. If price isn't an option, the PS3's are most likely excellent but they're rather new so I haven't seen reviews from the board. The Eagle F1's are very solid but are near the PS2 in price and can be considered a little noisy. For a good price to performance ratio, the Vredestein US has solid magazine and user reviews on its side. All 3 are solid performers but I'm most likely going with Vredestein.

I have Dunlop Direzza Sport Star Spec. They are not that expensive and give very good traction (almost as good as my Toyo Proxes R888). I think Car and Driver did a tire test and the Dunlops were as good as the PS2s.

would be my choice for performance/ price.

Donald-335i · 02-13-2010, 06:03 PM

i really like

General Exclaim/nitto invo's/ Dunlop Direzza Sport Star Spec

Syndicategt · 02-13-2010, 06:06 PM

My Falken FK452's are amazing. Very grippy, quiet, and handle good in the rain (for an UH tire that is). I would buy these again.

Very good and very affordable choice.

If you like high speed driving, good handling and don't mind starting out at 6/32"s I really like my Falken RT-615's.

For price and performance, you cannot beat Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta

thefireant · 02-13-2010, 07:24 PM

For price/ performance nothing (in my mind) beats falken RT-615s.

RevC · 02-13-2010, 08:30 PM

my recommendation is to post in the appropriate section,

Brad335d · 02-13-2010, 08:35 PM

Tires are connected to part of the drivetrain, without them the engine, trans and all else would useless. (Playing devils advocate)

Great Wet Performance + Great Dry Performance + Good price...

Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1's FTW

They are comparable to Bridgestone RE-11's and Yokohoma Neova AD08's but $300-$400 cheaper for all 4.

hun77777 · 02-14-2010, 04:39 AM

i'm surprised that nobody mentioned hankook ventus v12 evo. they got 2nd place on car and driver review although vredestein is another one that i really debating...
i am looking for set of tires for this summer too and considering amoung this, falken, dunlop, Vredestein and yokohama advan, but considering the price, i think it's almost no brainer...

btw, this is wrong section. mod please move this to wheels/tires section

R1000K3 · 02-14-2010, 04:54 AM

I have a new set of V12's on and have only heard good about them. Still snow here though

Perhaps this is how the car should be equipped now

cough* Falken RT-615s* cough.
