I vouch for my Riken Raptors, very sticky, unidirectional, quiet,and relatively cheap.Made overseas by Michelin.

RE: Stickiest street tires

For easy to figure numbers on tire size I like to use this:

(yeah, I know....miata.net, but it works)

RE: Stickiest street tires

I just ordered some BFG's 285's for the rear (downsizing to 18's).

I've got 2 - Toyo TR1's with 4 k on them (street miles - and I'm an old guy!) I'd be happy to sell (275x30x19) for $200 plus shipping.

Pics if you're interested.
