Putting hankook V12s on the rear I believe per Danes recommendation.

Will put them on when I get back from Chicago with Audi0000. Ill let you know what I think.

Taking off the Nitto555, they were really good handling, but loud.

I finally found where the DWS is on my tire. It's on the actual tread. So far, all of mine are still there. Granted, I don't drive like a maniac all the time. I kind of drive like an old man. I did, though, take some twisties for a while and I got them to squeal. Very predictable tire. I put another 1,000 miles on them. Still lookin' great!

How many miles do you have on that set?

I usually do the ordering of tires for my families cars, and from Goodyears, Pirellis, Dunlops, Yokohamas, Kumhos, Contis, I have yet to find a better tire. :dunno

Have you tried Pilot Super Sports yet?

I ran Pilot Sports on my ///M and got the Super Sports for my ZHP. Love the Super Sports! Grips just as good as the Pilot Sports and is a longer lasting tire.

Nitto INVO 255/35/18 all around.

Incredible in the rain. Pretty good in the wet. A little slippery.

ok so i've been going back and forth on tires for weeks. think i'm about ready to settle on the Hankook Ventus V12s. they seem like such a great bang for the buck. i really would like to try out some Nitto Invo's or Mich Super Sports but i just can't justify paying $300 more...not when the V12s have gotten such good reviews across the board.

will be putting them on this weekend.

pirelli P-zero nero. love them. not the "sportiest" but for stock wheels, and if you're driving in rain/snow/etc. great price, great traction (had no problems last year when Richmond and hampton roads -Virginia- got covered in snow) and great tread life:

i have General Acclaim's on the front of my car as of now because i had an extra one laying around that was practically brand new so i just bought another one when i needed new front tires, but once they wear i'm going with Pirrelli's all around i imagine.

Otherwise driven very mildly on the street.

Will give a report on the new tires when I get them on Friday (Continental ExtremeContact DWS).

had my pirelli' P-zero nero for about 12k (1 year now) and don't think they are loud, have great traction for all weather driving, would NEVER autoX them...because they aren't suppose to be "tracked". drive spiritedly, take off ramps super fast and have a good time and no issues. hard acceleration in rain is usually handled pretty well with the tires as well.

i can't say anything bad about them so far. still lots of tread left too. has really good reviews on tire rack too (i read LOTS of reviews before deciding on them)

For the all-season drivers, don't overlook the new Kumho Ecsta 4x.

Only been out a few months, but getting great reviews.

Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.
