Default Best tire you have ever rode on?

Well, back when I was pimpin the Volvo with the Mesh Remotecs 16x8, I had Michelin Pilot sports. Best riding, performing tire, and very expensive

Ive been through a set of Azenis, not too terrible in rain, badace in the dry.
Now im on a set of Ziex 512's. Right now Im not as impressed as I should be for a new tire. They dont handle nearly as good as the Azenis, even when they were bald. Wet traction is a lot better, but these damn tires scare me all around

i never really had a problem with the ziex's. theyre good all around. but there is no comparison to the azenis. the two tires on different levels. azenis are like 200 trearwear whereas the ziex is like 360 or something. right now i ride on dunlop fm901's. theyre good tires. 200 treadwear also i believe

those tires are designed for 2 completely different uses

The azenis sport is a MAX performance DRY tire

The Ziex ZE-512 is a performance touring ALL SEASON tire

I've had the Ziex on my Si, before it was stolen and torched, and I loved them. Good traction in all sorts of weather.

I'm currently using Proxies on my hatch. These are good in dry weather, but are below par in wet weather.

Yes, I know this already. I was just saying how much better the Azenis handled in the twisties even when bald.

I find that most motor vehicle tyres are a bit too wide for me to ride.....i obviously dont have the girth

things like M8 nuts are more my size
