Hey guys I need you help about tires. It's time for some new shoes and I have no idea what to get. Right know my bady is roling on some Dunlop Sport Maxx but I heared some good things about the Falken 452 or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3!

I use the car only by dry conditions (got the A-class for the rest lol).

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance
phil

I'm on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and I like them just fine. However, if you're using them in only dry conditions, I would go for the regular Pilot Sports. I would continue to use them, but due to their expensiveness, I will more than likely switch to BF Goodrich Sport T/A's.

I run Continental SportContact2 and they are pretty good. Nice wet/dry control, realtively quiet.

Just a thought.

I originally had the Falken 452's, and later upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. The 452's were pretty good, but the PS2's are downright amazing. Damn expensive, though. If you want all out performance, I would go with the PS2's, if you want a great value, I would go with the 452's.

I ran Nitto 555, pretty good, and now have Toyo T1R. These are very good, a little more than the Toyo's, but still less than the PS2's.

Great info for the moment thanks.

I actually don't like Michelin tires, had bad experiences! But maybe I should considering to get some lol

Anyone run Pirelli or Bridgestone tires?

Continental Sport Contact 2 has my vote. But, if your view on Michellins change, I'd say go for the PS2's.

I run Bridgestone Blizzak LM22's in the winter. They are awesome in snow and ice. I don't even bat an eye in the bad weather, the only thing that effects me is when the snow is deep enough that the front air damn acts as a snow plow.

I had a set of Pirelli PZero Nero M+S once for a short time and liked them a lot. They were W rated.

Thanks all. I think I'm going for some Pirelli PZero Nero. I'll get 70% off the regular price...

I know it may be a little late. But for future reference for anyone looking.

If they are avail. in your area. You should look at the Toyo Proxes T1R. I bought these back in May(when we first got the car) & man let me tell you. They are absolutely outstanding especially in wet weather. I am just blown away at the traction( besides for the off the line traction, but they are not made for this really) they have.
