I really like my Yokohama S.drives. Decent treadwear and very responsive. Perhaps not the ultimate track tire but definitely one of the best street tires.

Depends on the style of driving you do when you say you "wanna have some fun". What size are you gonna run? 195-55-15? 195-50-15? 205-50-15? I run Toyo Extensa HPs. Good tire and decent price!!! Kinda interested to see what the others are running

I run and love the GY Eagle GTs 195- 55 .. perfect for a DD and awesome handling in the rain. my next choice would be the Nitto Neo Gen

these Toyos are going for like $140 a piece! I figured a decent price was like 90 or 100 ..

best hard compound sport tire $4$ is probably the s drive. 195 55 15 is the proper size for that wheel. buy those, drive, be happy, continue.

i have the Yokohama S.drives, for the price they are decent, pretty cheap. im running a 205 50 15 on my volks. i was suprised on how good they were for the price. they are a little loud, seem to chirp a lot just from quick clutch engagements ( depends on how agressive ur setup is) i dont know whats done to ur car or what ur plans are. but i was decenetly happy with them with a modestly built turbo car.

If you want better traction, consider the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec. Just don't expect them to last nearly as long.

Eagle GTs FTW! $90 a tire. and they are All season, those Yoko are around the same price but they are summer tires and aren't meant for low temps.. All season FTW. plus they have the rim protector incase you come too close to curbs...

Summer tire >> all season any day of the week

well, except when temps are below 40 F, but that's what winter tires are for!
