tire opinions

[irishpwr46]

buying a full set of tires 255/35/20 and 275/35/20

im looking between

Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2

Sumitomo HTRZ III

Yokohama S.Drive

Kumho Escta SPT


any opinions on any of them? they all have pretty good reviews. i dont need a drag radial or anything, and theyre all summer tires. i have a separate set of wheels and tires for racing, so these are just for daily use

 

[irishpwr46]

Nobody?

 

[Newman]

Evo 2
Then
S-drive


Yokohama just had me out on Tuesday and S-Drive was one of the tires . Pretty solid tire.

Wouldn't touch either of the other ones .

Excellent thanks

Hankook for me of that list

Sumitomo's only use is as a tire wall

would i be better off with nitto 555s up front and mickey thompson street comps out back? and has anyone run firestone firehawks? what about cooper zeon rs3s?

I've run the Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 and they were ok. I did have to get one replaced under warranty when it developed a lump and was 4.5 oz out of balance. Handled good when new but got hard and lost traction as they got older.

Mickey Thompson Street Comps are ok as well, better than the Firestones, but I was having difficulty getting traction with anything at 643 rwhp.

My next tires on my current Mustang will be Michelin Sport Comps.

i know it wasn't one of the options, but have you though at all about bf goodrich? have had multiple sets and have always loved them.

Don't mix your street tires if you can help it. Those mickey thompsons just have a cool name. Other than that, they're exceedingly average.

The 555's...are 555's. I still don't know why people like Nitto

If they're the same firehawks as were on my dad's charger, skip them

The cooper RS3R's I guess don't suck too bad. Roush uses them. Not sure why.

Let's stick to the Hankook V12's
