225/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE960 P.P.

 

225/40/18 BFG G Force Sport (Wife's Legacy) Best OA value in a tire, in my opinion. Daily Driven, great wet traction,as well as dry. 340 treadwear. I autocrossed as well as driven "spirited" in all conditions. My only con with these tires is after they have worn out a little they become a little noisy. If I was in the market for a new set of tires I'd highly consider getting another set of these! I would also consider Dunlop's Direzza Star tires. These are a compromise of pure performance vs durability. If I was in the market for pure street tire performance,the list would be as follows:
Falken 615's
Bridgestone RE O1R
Yokohama Advan Neovas
BF Goodrich G-Force KD
Federal 595 RS
Hankook Ventus RS2 Z212
Laugh at the last 2,but I ran the RS's w/great success autocrossing. I think the results show that fact!! I was only on 215/45/17s but I was able to beat all other street tired competitors,even an RX8 running 275's all the way around!!

 

Federal 225/45/17 - Daily Driver.

 

STi
DD - Falken ST115 225-45-17
Auto-x - Stock RE070 (need to run street tires in STU)

Miata
DD - BFG G Force Sport (I agree w/the above comments, good bang for the buck)
Auto-x - a combination of Federal 595, Azenis RT 615 or Kook RS2 Z212 (STS2 class)

 

225/45/R17 Kumho Ecsta MXs - Daily Driving (with some spirited).


They are alright when you're doing some backroads driving, but they are CRAP everywhere else IMO. Too loud, too rubbery feeling.

 

Auto-x : Kumho v710's great traction and lasts a long time.
: previous tires kumho ecsta v700 ( crappy, didn't grip well, or wear well )
: previous tires Kumho victorracers ( good tires, less grip than v710's but lasts a long time too )
: hoosier a6's ( an old used set, good initial grip, but loses grip and tread very rapidly.
: BFG g-force r1 ( old set - good grip, good wear, also discontinued )

Street: if cheap, kumho 711's ( cheap and initially kinda grippy, but loses grip really fast. and doesn't wear well )
: BFG g-force sports - good overall street tire.
: kumho ecsta MX - high grip and good wear, + CHEAP!!!
: toyo T1-R - high grip, a little flexy but overall a very competent tire.
: dunlop dz101 - on par with BFG g-sports, goov overall street tire.

Finally for optimum performance, never forget the ubiquitous bridgestone RE92 Great grip, no sidewall flex, and extremely good wear.
