I'm getting new tires for my FD after Winter is over and wanted a few opinions on which type to buy? It doesn't see the track much, almost all street driving and driven year round. Currently I have Dunlops SP Sport 225 z rated. Anything similar to these or better?

we have been doin alot of tires this year and have found good luck with falken rt615s but since your needing an all season id check into the continental contitouring pro . the rx8s we put them on drive rather nicly and the owners love them.

I am looking for tires with a lot of grip for good handling, not necessarily concerned with the best all-season tire, I can always drive slow in the rain and avoid the snow. Basically I want a good summer tire with some grip in the wet.

i as well as a few other freinds with high hp fc3s and dsms use the falken rt615 and love them, also we use the toyo ra-1 tires for track days and when not shaved last along ass time with major grip. you can also look into yokahama a048 aswell

If you're accustomed to running Dunlops, anything will be an improvement.

I dont want to spend a lot of money and I heard the Kumho series is a decent tire, has anyone ever tried them out?

toyo proxes 4 are a great all season performance tire.



id avoid *most* kuhmos like the plague. same goes for continental, dunlop, bfg, and goodyear.



the only goodyear worth a damn is the eagle f1 series. the ones fikse mentioned are pretty awesome and do remarkbly well in the rain for a high-perf. tire.



oh and michelins suck too.



most people know nothing about tires and simply think since there tires dont blow out that they're good tires.
