I'd go with the Dunlop Stars if you have the money, great in the dry and wet....

I really like the Nitto NT-01. Mostly for being super sticky. Im using the 225/45/15. As long as I keep the car from burning rubber the tires are going to last a long time

The stickiest street tire you can get in that size is the Falken Azenis RT-615K.

That's not sticky at all, and it's also horribly overpriced.

The NT-01 is a track tire, not a street tire. And it's not available in 205/40-16.

I'm not familiar with the Azenis, but we carry the Yokohama Spec-2. The KDW is definitely expensive and loud.

Neo Gens aren't bad IMO.

Azenis are nice, also.

The Azenis is an extreme performance summer tire. The KDW and Parada Spec 2 are not.

The Parada Spec 2 is one of the very worst summer tires available, and also has been on the market perhaps the longest. In side-by-side comparison testing, it lost to crappy tires that have been off the market for many years, like the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 and the Dunlop FM901.

The NeoGen is an all-season tire. Like all all-seasons, it sacrifices performance in warm weather for the added flexibility of use in snow and bitter cold. It won't grip as well as summer tires and that's why it's a bad recommendation for someone with a high-horsepower application.

The comparison tests were on your employer's website. They apparently took them down because the other tires in the comparison haven't been available for so many years. See your webmaster.

lol at tirerack battling it out with nsxtasy

azenis is the only worth while tire in 205 40 16, not many people have tried the 615k yet but when falken releases a new azeni they never disappoint in traction

although if you wanted to go to 205 45 16 you would have quite a few more options

You are probably right. Alot of people around here run Neo Gens around here and they seem to do alright (K swaps & 300whp cars) I've never personally ran the tire so I can't say anything, A lot of them are 15" also.

Me personally, I have a set of BFgood 205/50/15 drag radial for the fun days and some gay *** direzzas for the daily. I'll be changing that soon.
