So, have been reading a lot of reviews about a ton of tires.

I think i have my mind made up, but i figured i would get your guys opinions.

I don't ever go to the track, i drive spirited on the street, and every once and a great while i go to the canyon roads. so i want something good for a daily driver, going to be quiet, good dry traction and decent wet traction and going to get a decent tread life. I live in sunny southern California so i don't get much rain. I am on a budget so i am keeping the individual tire cost under $200 a tire, but of course i am on a budget so the cheaper the better as long as the tire is good.


Wheels are going to be from Cruzin' Concepts Wholesale
18in saleen silver 18x9 for $113 per rim
OR 18 saleen hypercoated 18x9 $117 per rim.
(i am leaning towards the hypercoated)

Tire options (265/35-18)
Dunlop direzza dz101 $167 per tire
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 $169 per tire
falkin azenis fk-453 or 452 $178/180 per tire
nitto nt555 $186 per tire
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport $187 per tire
Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions $194 per tire

(i am leaning to the g-Force sport comp2)

the bfg meets everything i am looking for, at least i think it does, price is good it has a UTQG of 340aaa the reviews seem to be great.

what do you guys think 18in sleens hypercoated with sport comp 2 in 265/35???

SO after pricing everything with sales tax, mounting balancing etc etc it comes out to $1322, BUT on american muscle i can get the black chrome 18in saleens with nt555 and since the dont charge sales tax or mounting balancing it comes out to $1391, should i go through american muscle and get nt555

I have the g-force comp 2's on my car, 275 rear, 255 front

They grip great and so far can barely tell they are wearing at all, can't tell you about rain or snow handling since my car never sees it though

NT555S are good.. possibly not as good in the rain. I would read the reviews on tirerack of the comp2.
