What tires are you running and what kind of driving do you do?
I am running the stock pirelli's right now and am looking to upgrade.
I don't drag race but do a lot of cornering and long highway drives. Looking for people that do similar types of driving and have some good tires for this.
Any advice? I am looking at some Goodyear's and Bridgestones right now. Tires will not be used in the winter.

Rikken Raptor ZR 255/50/17
I do all types of driving from long highway commutes to road course events. Tires have a high traction rating and hold up well in the turns. Since they fit nicely on the stock rims, the weight stays low.

255/45-18 BFGoodrich KDW2s on 18x8.5" rims.
$190 a piece mounted and balanced.
Shoulda coulda woulda got the 275/40-18 for
the same revs/mile as stockers but 20mm more
tread over the 255/45-18s.
Much better than the stock OEM BFGs or Pirellis.

Quoted from your other thread
If staying the same size, I recommend the Eagle F1 All season, or if to rich for the blood, try the new Eagle GT.
F1 All season with Kevlar in the belt package and carbon fiber sidewall inserts on both sides, vs 1 side like the Response edge.
Economy All season performance tire. Eagle GT
