... tire recommendations for daily driven street use and occasional track use...
((... i did a search... a couple of the better links are listed at the bottom...))
... i am looking for some thoughts/recommendations on a set of street tires... this is for a daily driver that will see the track about once a month... my setup is b18c1 with forged internals and t3/60-1... also, like i said it is daily driven at about 30-50 miles per day... lastly, i wanna spend $100 or less per tire... anyways, here is a list of what i found while searching... as you can see, the list gets long... so if you guys could help me narrow it down, that would be great... thanks...
bfg drag radials - bridgestone s03 - azenis sport - nitto nt555R - yokohama A520 -
kumhoc ecsta supra - toyo t1-s - yokohama parada spec2 - bridgestone potenza - re910/s-03 - bfg g-force kd - yokohama ao32r

i just picked up a set of Toyo RA-1 's today...
they seem pretty good so far, handling is very crisp and they hook like a **** during hard acceleration

hahah if they were so sticky, the "loose stuff" wouldnt fly inside the wheel well, they'd be stuck to the tire

I'll hafta agree with MASE, I just got a set of ES100's and they 0wn big time and they seem to be wearing quite nicely. Great lateral traction as well.

Mase i caught that too, the stickier the tire the more rocks that will stick. Have you ever looked at some slicks in action at the track? Perfect example

I hear ya there....but for a street tire it is.....for a track tire, well, most of use can't daily drive sticky tires that need to get changed after 200 miles.

I haven't tried the ES100 yest, but I have been running Azenis on a 215/45/16, and I love them. I did a copuple canyon runs in cali up and down the hill and taking corners like I am commiting suicide ( I was testing quaife ) and they held up really really well...plus I like the way they look on 215/45.
I pulled a 2.0 60ft on those tires, cold at the track on 16's

Re: ... tire recommendations for daily driven street use and occasional track use... (Flamenco-T)
does anyone know if 225/45/16's will fit an integra that is lowered about 2.0 inches with eibach sportlines.. I dont want to roll my fenders and still want to be able to make full lock turns... These will be going on konig rated r rims.. I am about to start shopping for a set of nitto drag radials so i figured..wider is better, if i cant do 225's without major problems then i'll probably do 215's
