I'm looking for some good tires that have good grip in dry traction but also in wet. it doesn't really snow here alot so it doesn't really matter how they do in snow. I was thinking to maybe go with the Kumho ecsta 712, but i need more opinions. Every now and then i go to the track and race in the 1/8 so good grip is a plus and the car is my daily driver. Any opinion is appreciated

 

Falken ZEIX-512 = Immaculate in dry, cheap, and can hold their own against Florida rain at unsafe speeds

 

I love my dunlop fm901's in the rain, and they are great on dry surfaces too.

 

I have escta's. Good in dry!. Cant even chirp 3rd!

Wet they suck...

Did i mention in wet they suck?

are you guys running the 195's or the 205's

 

205/50s for me

 

these are awesome in the rain and pretty damn affordable at $68 each. in stock now at http://www.vulcantire.com who ive had great experience with.

second vote for the falken ziex.

 

hey dr_latino999, any rubbing with the 205 and is your car lowered

 

The car isn't lowered yet, but with a full load of five (It's a sedan) big *** guys in it there is rubbing on the turns.

 

azenies 205/50 15's....great in the dry ok in the wet

 

See the problem is that when i floor the gas pedal, wheather its in dry or especially wet the tires just spin. They have no grip what so ever, even when taking a turn at a slow speed the tires just squeel. By the way these are general brand tires.

 

Hmm, well wet I can understand, I spin tires like no other just with an A6, what motor/transmission do you have?

 

I have a b16 I/H/E/C w/ the ys1 tranny. it only spins when i race from a roll or other instances like that.

 

Dry is because you have some no name tire; you will be able to chirp the 512's I proposed but not spin them from a rolling start (If your rolling start is some insane downshift then that's another story). Wet, well, that is out of our control.
