I had a full set of Brisgestone Potenza RE750's, before I blew one of them in the rear. They were all 245x40x18's. They worked great, and when one of the rear tires got punctured in the sidewall, I had to get TWO new tires at Les Schwab because they didn't have the Potenzas. They threw on a pair of Falken POS tires. The pair of Bridgestones I have rock, and I hear good things about Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires, and BFG TA KDW2's, which are what I want next.

I have BFG G-Force Sport (225/55/16 and 255/50/16) and I really like them.

Whatever's on sale at GCR.... Low grip rating, high tread wear, easy on the wallet

Who really wants to go around a corner straight when you can go sideways anyways?[]
