Tires Toyo or Kumho
Go with the Toyo T1-S tires they are unbelievable, more expenisve then the Potenzas, but also a better tire. Consumer Reports also rated them better then the Potenza for ultra high performance tires, so it's more then just my opinion.
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712... I love these tires. I can turn as quick and sharp as a want and they havnt lost grip yet. So i say two thumbs up.
Man these things blow the stock tires out of the water. I havent had a chance to really put them through their paces, but I did spend ~15 min messing around in an empty parking lot. I agree reguarding the ride/sound.
I am currently running them on my GLI on the street, and they are great tires! Very quiet, good ride, good dry grip, haven't had a chance to test them in rain yet. I would recommend them if you want an all-season UHP, that you can do the occasional autox on.
I have a GLS v6 tip with Kumho 7400series snow tires. I'm very happy with them. No problems what so ever
I've run Toyo RA-1s and thought they did a fine job, although I never did better than 2.1. With more launches under my belt, my Dunlop SP8000s have performed as well.
some people don't like them but I get good results with my Toyo FZ4 205-50-15.
With regard to tire pressures, btw. I'm running T1-S in a 245/45 16 size on my S6 wagon, with 36 pounds of pressure in each tire. I started out at 34, and picked it up to 36.
I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.
i have kuhmo supras(195 45 16) and they suck for traction. SUCK I had dunlop w10's, they were ok, but lasted like 15k miles. thats my input
