I noticed the sticky note about the best tire to buy is dated 2012. Do the recommendations still stand today, 4 years later?
I am looking for the proper tire to buy in the "budget performance" section. In 2012 you suggested:

1.) Sumitomo HTR Z III
2.) Hankook Ventus V12 EVO
3.) Kumho Ecsta SPT
4.) Dunlop Direzza DZ101
5.) BF Goodrich G-Force Sport

THANKS, Dale

Am I the only one that comes here?
Was Luke from Tire Rack fired?

Luke@tirerack

sorry ... I missed your message.

Expect a new "best of" list shortly ...

glad we got your tire needs solved though

And I'd like to know who started that darn "fired" gossip.... ????
Lets just say I'm glad it was a hoax.

From personal experience, I really like the BF Goodrich G-Force Sport (not the "all season" version). Sticks well, lasts a long time.

Take a look at the Cooper Zeon RS/3. Comes in All season and Summer versions. Stock on Roush Mustangs and supposedly developed with input from Roush. I'm really happy with mine, so happy I bought another set. Tire Rack doesn't list Coopers on their website though

I just bought my second set of Zeons to fit my new staggered wheelset. $756 for Cooper Zeon RS3-S 255/40r19 fronts and 285/35r19 rears, minus a $60 mail in rebate. Got them from Treaddepot.com and shipped to a local installer. Shipping included in price.
