What's your favorite daily driver tire. Right now i have some federal 595's that aren't half bad and i seriously dislike Federal. At least i use to, this 595 isn't that bad. UTQG240 and it's decent in the rain, dry grip is fair to good and i have nearly 10k on them and tons of tread left. Considering the BFG G-Force sports on the next go round.

If you're looking for a NON all season tire, the G force sports work out pretty well. Impressive grip for the $$. However, if you dont really care about snow traction, the Hankook RS2Z212 works great in the rain and dry. You just have to fill them with like 45 PSI because of soft sidewalls lol.

 

My favs are Kuhmo Ectas...im runnin 205/50/16's on my DC2

 

avs es100's and ecsta spt's.

 

I've been on Cooper Zeon 2xs's in 195/55 for awhile now. It's one of the best tires I have used in the rain, and the dry grip is excellent too. Avon Tech M500's another good tire I have used. If you don't need an UHP summer tire, a friend of mine has Zeon ZPT on his integra and those have impressed me too.

 

+1 BFG G-Force sports

Very good tire no complaints

 

I like my Falken Ziex 512s, but if i get another set of street tires, i'm going to go with RT615s because then i would hopefully not have to drive on BFG drags all the time

 

ziex's are trash. i'm running on them but only because i bought my rims with them and they have good tread left.

They work for back tires....seeing as i run my BFGs on the front and Blizzaks in the snow

 

ziex 512's are all-seasons...
all-season is code for "these grip like ****."

 

kumho SPTs for daily driving/grip/price.

 

for daily driving. I roll on Toyo Proxes 4

 

I was considering the proxes 4 since it's rated as all season, thing is, i've heard the BFG isn't that bad in light snow, like less than 2" and the rain. Before i bought my GSR i had two sets of wheels for my Corvette, might do the same with my GSR. People give you the oddest looks when you have snow tires mounted on a car that cracks 11's gotta love it. What kind of miles are you G-force sport guys getting? I remember another guy saying he has ES100's, that's another fav of mine for the price but it doesn't come in the size i need. 205 40 16. That Tokico kit i bolted on that was supose to drop the car 1.5" came out to be more like 2.5" 205 45s would rub worse than these 40's do. What do you guys do with your front wheel wells anwyay?

I got some dunlop direzza dz101's off tire rack for 45 bucks a piece, and they grip pretty good since i'm a cheap bastard

 

As I often post (such as in this topic):

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by nsxtasy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Roughly 90 percent of the time, people fall into one of the following three categories:

a. People who want the maximum traction on dry pavement, and don't care about anything else. These are usually people who sometimes use their street tires in autocross or on the racetrack or in brisk drives on curvy roads. The best tire for such folks IMHO is usually the Falken Azenis RT-615, which is available in Integra sizes of 195/60-14, 205/50-15, 215/45-16, and 205/40-17, depending on your wheel size. These tires don't last all that long - treadlife of 10-12K miles is typical - and they are only so-so in rain. But if you only care about dry grip, they're the bomb.

b. People who want good traction on dry pavement, but also want good traction in rain and also care about value (purchase price and/or treadlife), and who DON'T use these tires in snow (either it doesn't snow where they live, or they have separate tires or another vehicle for winter conditions). These are usually people who use their tires for everyday driving. The tires I most often recommend for these folks are the Kumho SPT and the Avon Tech M500, which are available in Integra sizes of 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. I recommend the Yokohama ES100 in 195/60-14 for those with 14" wheels. All of these tires have very good grip on dry pavement, are excellent in rain, and last a reasonably long time (25-40K miles).

c. People who need to use the same tires in snow during the winter as well as in moderate to warm temperatures the rest of the year. These folks need all-season tires, which are a compromise; they have the flexibility to be used in a wider range of weather, but they're not as good in winter as true winter tires and they're not as good the rest of the year as summer tires such as those mentioned above. For these folks, I recommend the Kumho ASX in 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. For those with 14" wheels, I recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position in 195/60-14.

All of these tires are reasonably priced, and are the best you can get for your money in each of these categories, IMHO. You can get them shipped from places like Tire Rack, Discount Tire (whose higher prices are offset by free shipping), and Vulcan Tire.</TD></TR></TABLE>

As to the other tires mentioned in posts above, you're still better off with the ones I'm naming here. The Kumho SPT is much better than the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport and slightly less expensive too. It's also better than the Direzza DZ101 and in most sizes is similar in price, and it's better than the ES100 (in rain, similar in dry) and lower in price. The Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212 is sort of in between the SPT and the Azenis in performance, treadlife, and cost; if you really want the performance, you're better off with the Azenis, and if you are looking for value (treadlife and purchase price), you're better off with the SPT. The Kumho ASX is better than the Falken Ziex ZE-512 and ZE-912 and the Toyo Proxes 4 for those who need all-season tires.
