    What tires are you currently rolling on?

    Just wanted to get a spread on what everyone is rolling on.

    If you don't see your tire in the voting list.....just make a comment about them (or not).

    If you liked a tire, feel free to pose a short writeup or rating (or not)

    If you didn't like a tire, feel free to pose a short writeup or rating (or not)

    @ the very least....just vote. Thank you.

    Yokohama S-Drives

    Great tire, plenty sticky, great treadwear, and the price is cheap enough to make them really attractive, even when compared to other better tires...

    Bridgestone Potenza RE030 (summer, high performance tire):

    http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=Potenza+RE030

    225/255 stock setup

    They have great grip, but tramline like crazy. I would rate them 3/5... Wouldn't buy them again from my experience, unless you're trying to constantly improve your reaction time (through sudden minor steering adjustments).

    Conti DWSs in stock, staggered sizes (225 / 255) here.

    Picked them based on the great consumer rating on Tire Rack, their long (reported) treadwear, & relatively high performance (given that they're all-seasons). I will be buying another set of these in square 245/40ZR18 (on square 18x8" M135s) next. I'll likely keep with these year-round until I have a need for dedicated summer / winter sets (aka no longer living in the desert southwest!).

    Currently running on Toyo T1Rs.

    Decent tire for DD. Now they have limited sizes and pretty sure they are discontinued. Tires were brand new when I got the car, and after about 10k miles they are getting near replacement (Most likely have around 5-10k more miles until wear bars). The tires really like to tramline and are noisy at higher speeds. For a high performance tire I wasn't too impressed.

    Track/Autocross Tires are Hankook RS3s

    For DDing I wouldn't recommend these at all. They are noisy, tramline everywhere on the street and wear fairly quick. In the rain the tires are almost useless, as you have 0 grip available. In addition anything under 60F ambient you're going to have trouble finding traction.

    Falken Fk452. Have no complaints. They look good, are grippy and don't cost a lot at all.

    Front half Hankook, rears are Michelin.

    Hankook V12's are awful. I have way more than half tread on the fronts and they have very little grip leftover. Understeer city the other day. Last night though, they were tram-lining everywhere.. I don't know what it was but it was a handful on the highway for whatever reason..

    I had Pirelli P Zero Nero summer tires as my first set and they were amazing. I cannot express how amazing I thought they were.

    Maxxis MA-V1's. PO put them on the car 5k before I bought it.

    They seem more popular in the UK or AU. Super silent and good grip in the rain.

    Thread wear seems to be average - the rears are at 60%, and fronts at 80%. 10k miles.
