Ya..... BEFORE he said what he wanted LOL

anyways, i cant speak for the Nitto's (never had em)

Ive also got a set of Falken Azeri's that just wont die! they seem to last forever but they dont stick very well.

My last set was Goodyear F1-GS's... good tire, sticks well... doesnt last that long

My favorite set.. Goodyear F1 GS-D3 ... best looking tire IMO and they hook real well, the downside is the $$$

...I have no problems with my Nitto 555 DR's...

That's because you don't have enough hp and tq to realize how NOT sticky they are!

lol

Ahhh the old which tire question...

Well if money doesn't matter:
1) Michelin Pilot MXX3
2) Bridgestone Potenza RE720
3) Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar

Those are all pretty crazy sticky, but expensive as all hell. Personally the Michelins are BADASS!!!

If money is a factor
1) Riken Raptor
2) Kumho Ecsta Supra 712
3) Regular Nitto 555

I have the Raptors on my car now. They do a great job of gripping even at 750 rwhp. I would light up the Potenzas in 3rd and 4th, but the raptors hook in 3rd and 4th. And at less than 100 bucks a tire, I will run the Riken Raptor until they don't make them anymore. It's an absolutely WONDERFUL tire...even in the rain.

Thanks a lot buddy!

I'm just messing with you, but honestly, for a DOT drag radial, NOTHING beats mickey thomspon et street radials. I'm surprised that I have not gotten more support on that, from smokin04...

F1's? Really? Super Sticky? Yeah, I don't think so, lol...

MAD SVT

for a performance tire, the F1's are awesome! (but tread life could be in the ###'s rather than the ####'s unfortunately..

but ya..... the Mickey's are AWESOME!!! i can heat them up real quick, drop the clutch from 3k and it'll just Bog off the line... (i dont have the ***** to drop it from any higher LOL)

Smokin04

Lol, yeah I agree about the MT's...I've never had a DR hook harder than the Mickeys. The OP didn't want DR's listed though which is why I didn't list them. And for a full slick I like the MH racemaster or the Hoosier QuickTime Pro's.

I wasn't talking about the F1's that came stock on the Cobra, I was talking about the F1 Supercar that comes factory on the Z06's, some Vipers and other American based sports cars. There is a night and day difference between the two. The Pirelli Asymetrico (Also called the PZero) is equivalent to the F1 Supercar, but just a bit better.

I guess I could replace the F1 Supercar if nobody here is a Goodyear fan. Potenza RE-11's and then the Scuderia's are the next best I think. Check these out:
