Hey guys I am thinking it would be a good idea to have a Thread that everyone can post the tires they run and have run in the past and write there own review on them. We should keep all the chatter out as so people can just go through and read our true real Descriptions of the tires.

Keep all the Chit chat to PM please to keep this as a Reference only. If you have run more then one tire on the same wheel just add to it.

1995 GT
Stock 2.73

17x8 Tri Bars
245/45/17
Toyo Proxes FZ4's
They wore way to Quickly. Handled great but the tread Life was too short.
Falken Ziek 512
255/40/17 (front)
275/40/17 (rear)
They handled great in the dry and wet but the 275/40/17 in the rear just proved way to big to get a nice Contact Patch on the pavement to last a reasonable amount of time.

Bridgestone Potenza RE750
They wore great lasted about 40,000 miles and wore even without any rotating what so ever. Great all around tire with great grip in the dry and Wet. Very good grip cold and especially Hot. The sidewalls are pretty stiff and feel very study when your corner Carving. You can load them up and then get a good start off the line and they will grip and want more.
Dunlop Direzza DZ101
They wore very even very soft compound and lasted about 25,000 miles. Gripped great in wet and dry. They had an amazing grip when Hot i couldn't even get the tires to break loose in the 1st -2nd shift. Handled great in the corners felt very responsive when your pushing the car to the limit. Felt like i had control at all times. As long as you don't dump the clutch they will grip and will want more.

I'll start with what i have run in the past.ReplicaR said:1. Post every tire you've used in the past on the car you currently own. It will give us an idea of where you're coming from when you say that the tire you are using right now sticks like bubble gum, and last one sucked.
2. Be specific about how you drive the car. A tire that has awesome compound but weak sidewalls may be good for drag racing, but will not be adequate for cornering. Be more thorough when you describe the tires. Everything is important, starting from how they act on the street to what they do when they are loaded up into the corner, to how the straight line traction is.
3. List the exact tire you have.
