My favorite tire so far has been the Michelin Pilot AS3+. I love the PSS but if you need one for all seasons then this is your match. I drive through the Smoky Mountains (the Gorge) twice a week and these tires absolutely walk through those mountains and simply take a set and just flat out stick. They are also very stable at speed and well composed over bumps. For example, there is a high speed sweeper on I-40 in TN going up the Smokies into NC and in that sweeper there is a bump and change of road texture from concrete to asphalt. The AS3+ take this curve and bump without a hitch. I had a set of Pirelli PZero AS and the same bump threw the car off and made the tail end very squirrelly- not good.

I probably should have clarified I'm making almost 450whp/wtq, so putting that power down has been an ongoing issue.

I have been running Nankang NS2 for many years.
They offer good grip and feedback, but tend to wear out faster then more expensive tires. With my low yearly milage that's positive since premium tires world start getting hard before they wear out.

If you really want to put that power down you're gonna need something like a PSS/PS4S. I absolutely love the PS4S's I have right now. They were very pricy but what you get for the money is well worth it IMO.

I run PSS now. We'll see if the new, wider wheel I'm running does any better.

They're 18sx9 front and 18x10 rear, and I plan to run 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 on them respectively.

So what's your favorite tire? Are you running PSSes like a bunch of us or are you a rebel and run something different?

That depends on where you live in our country. If you live in an area that snow & slush aren't a possibility 2-4 months out of the year, an all summer tire is a feasible option. If not, you are probably running 2 sets of tires like an AS tire & a dedicated winter tire 4 months out of the year.

The best tires I've ever had, believe it or not, were Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3. A lot of people don't seem to like them but on my ZHP they never failed to impress me.

Other tires I've liked include:

Sumitomo HTR Z III
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (current)
General Exclaim UHP
Achilles ATR Sport (lol I actually did like these)

I currently have the bf goodrich geforce comp 2 AS. looking to go summer tires this time around, since Ilive in the Bay Area. Iw ill probably go PZ4.

[whyzee125]

General Exclaim UHP was my favorite tire, price considered (RIP)

I've been happy with Michelin PS A/S3
Sumitomo HTR ZIII
Continental DWS
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

In that order
