Well im in search of a set of front tires for my car. I need tires that can hold daily driving(around 20-30 miles a day) and that can perform good at the track too.. As i said i daily drive the car so they must perform good in dry and wet conditions..

Here's the panorama:
Turbo car..expecting between 240-270whp

I daily drive normal..not too aggressive but if i found a nice curvy country road i like to hit it like if i was racing the Touge...

Currently im using Matador Aquilla tires which have lasted great(more than a year) and had gripped decently while i was N/A..problem is that with turbo comes traction issues. The tires are 200 thread wear and when i was N/A i could hit couple of 2.2 in the 0-60ft... Now that im turbo i cant get better than high 2.4's and well the tires have also started to get worn.
These are the tires:



I was considering the following tires but i have my doubts..

1. Falken Azenis-->Threadwear of 200..have heard good things on them,these could last me some time but im doubting their ability to really provide the grip i need Off the line with the HP i am expecting

2. BF Goodrich Drag radials---> I think these could be my top choice because of how amazing they grip..but i think these would also wear out very fast on the daily driving...I dunno how these would perform on wet surface(living on the Caribbean means lots of rain periods)

3. Toyo RA-1 ---> These looks like a good happy medium but i've heard theyre more of a track tire and theyre expensive tires

Any other suggestions? Pic would also help.

 

i'd look into some nice fairly hi po tires and slicks if I were you.

the D/Rs wouldn't last at all on DDing

Actually, it's more the reverse. Their grip is excellent, but they don't last very long (despite their treadwear rating). Also, they're not great in rain - not terrible, but not as good as most other tires.

Fast wear and poor rain traction make these unsuitable for daily use.

Yes, they're a track tire - which means that these, too, wear fast and don't do well in rain. (They're better than other track tires in rain, but not as good as street tires.)

I would suggest a top-of-the-line street tire, one that will grip well on the track, will last a reasonably long treadlife on the street, and will still grip in rain. The best street tires out there are the Goodyear F1 GS-D3, the Bridgestone S-03, and the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Of these, the Goodyear is slightly less expensive than the other two. If you're looking to save even more money, a couple of other choices are the Kumho MX and the Toyo T1-S; both are a bit less money, but not quite as sticky as any of the previous three.

 

Well reading lots of reviews and searching around i have some choices:
Yokohama Avid V4S
Yokohama AVS ES100
Bridgestone Potenza S-02
Goodyear F1 GS-D3
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Dunlop SP Sport 9000

From the reviews i like Bridgestone S-02(but they dont seem to come for 15" wheels"),Dunlop SP SPort,Yokohama AVS ES100 and the Goodyear F1 GS-D3...

From those i think i've narrowed down to either the Yokohamas AVS ES100 or the Goodyear F1 GS-D3

..unless you guys point me to other better choices

 

how bout maybe a toyo t1-s? or maybe Kuhmo MX?

 

good luck finding the kumho mx. non-exsistant. i've looked!!!

i'm instead going w/ the NEW Azenis RT-615's.

 

I have 205-50-15 kumho mx tires on my teg, and they last a while and are pretty grippy. You can find them at http://www.tirerack.com

 

Just a suggestion since you seem to have a problem deciding between DD or Track tires. Get a set of 4 DD tires, then pick up 2 steelies and put Drag Radials on them. Before you head to the track swap out your two front tires.

Just a suggestion.
