Best Tyre You Had

[LSD GD3]

These ToYo T1R are amazing… (for its price) after these few weeks of rain in Sydney got to tested a few times and they grip so dame good… I use to be a Yokohama fan … I think it can top with the ADVAN range with ½ the cost….

They where the best I ever had… (on Jazz) !!!

[incoming]

are they the best street tyre u ever had?
have u tried semi slicks?
toyo R888 or R881s? in the dry that is..
ive had falken azenis RT215 in the rain and they held up surprisingly good

[weeman]

the pirelli P6000 are the best ive had, they grip so well, even in the wet, i havent had a problem with them yet

i had them on my ta22 and now ive got them on my integra, cant go past them

[BiLL|z0r]

I had Pirelli P5000's in '01 and they were the best I've had. When they wore out I got the P6000's (as 5000 not made any more) and they weren't as good + wore out heaps quicker.

[Spunkymonkey]

why is there a new thread when there is a tyre recommendation thread? st tyres fm901's the best I've had....semis - only tried A032R's but they are great.

[BiLL|z0r]

Because this is best tyre you've ever had. Some of the posts will be about tyres that aren't available anymore (like mine about P5000's)

[supersamEK]

Just got Michelin Pilot Preceda...best tyre i ever used in wet and dry, and also surprisingly quiet cruiser. Held up good at Wakefield!!

[revNhevN]

Yokahama DNA GP, great street tyre. Grips well in the dry and decent in the wet. But nothing compared to Falken RT215.

[fly_vti]

ive had Toyo r888's for daily street use.. very good tryes.. but they dont last long on normal road usage.

other than that they gripped so well i could drive like im on wakefield in a school zone and have absolute 100% grip.

[dc2itr]

guys, could u please put rough prices up aswell. Just so we know how gd they are for their price. I'm sure some are better than others but cost 10 X as much.

Price is really irrelevant here. It completely changes depending on the size, width etc. Please just focus on 'what is the best tyre'.

Slightly different idea :).


I ran a set of fm901's before they were replaced and they were an exceptional tyre. Currently on a set of Yoko's that arnt to bad, but the fm901's were much better.

agree !!!!!!!!!!!

i used to run FM901 b4 they stop production... i love them ...

they were one of the best st tyres i ever used... well in the price range anywya

[Spunkymonkey]

still got a couple of fm901's on the back lol.

[siksivic]

Advan AD07 neova ... very good tyres, great grip , however lifespan was a little disapointing

[aaronng]

What's the tyre wear on the sidewall of the T1R?

[xtercii]

falken azenis semi slicks, I used to full launch my 200sx in pouring weather with them.

[Newcivic]

Bridgestone RE55S best ever!
Street tyres .. G3's :) Im very bias to Bridgestone

[LSD GD3]

What's the tyre wear on the sidewall of the T1R?
well have not drive that long yet with it and most been driving in the rain these days ... so can't tell yet

[ONE600]

treadwear rating means shit, they are different from one manufacturer to another, so u cant really use it as a guide to compare tread wear

[Chris_F]

advan sport v103 are my favourite tyre ever so far

[Gerald28]

advan sport v103 are my favourite tyre ever so far

totally agree :thumbsup:

[aaronng]

Sorry, I meant the "Treadwear" rating that is printed on the sidewall of the tyre. I know tyre wear is more dependant on driving style than on a rating, but it would be a nice estimate.

[EuroDude]

For the Civic:
Dunlop Formula (better than Bridgestone Potenza GIII, Dunlop lemans)

For the Euro:
Yoko C-Drive (better than the stock Dunlop SP 2050)

[fatboyz39]

Advan 032R for track, very good.

i use nexen n2000, there ok for street.

[type one]

Bridgestone RE711 and Bridgestone S02 right at the top...

MUCH better than Toyo T1-R

[civiceg9]

Dunlop FM901, but they were noisy.
Advan A0XX very good and sticky road tyres.

[Zdster]

Advan A0XX very good and sticky road tyres.

I cant find any info. on these. Are they a semi? If they are street, how do they compare to fm901's?

[sivic]

yeah, i wish they still made the FM901's. awesome tyres.
currently using Hankook Ventus R-S2 (z212). good tyre and decently priced

[panda[cRx]]

falken azenis semi slicks, I used to full launch my 200sx in pouring weather with them.
azenis are great, even tho they wear out a lil quick for my liking

and does anyone find the ide of an 200sx launching in pouring wet weather in SEMI SLICKS absolutely ridiculous? :confused:

[BiLL|z0r]

Where did you get these? I went looking and every Hankook dealer just looked at me stupid. A few rung the wholealer and said they weren't in Oz yet.

[Kiz_EG6]

Don't take offence to this but i've heard you're pretty much payin 4 a name wit azenis!

I'm rollin on Maxxis Victra at the moment, only grabbed em, coz my mechanic recommended them, he uses them for his torrie race car. not my forte, but i thought i'd trust him and give them a burl.

Turns out they're pretty good, plus the widest tyres i can get under my guards are 195's, so the sport and semi-slick option is very limited.

I've also heard toyo r888's are mad, but 270 bucks a corner for my offset (195, 55, 15) is a fair bit, when they're only supposed to last bout 10000 k's!!

[Xplodin]

I had a set of Dunlop Sp200 on my car before i got these ones. Found them to be shyte as Shyte. Would spinn like all hell break loose on take off's. Dont even get me started in the wet.

Went to bridgestone, Turnza ER-50, touring type tyres. Good Tyers in wet and dry untill they run out of tread then they become as shyte as Dunlops. Then again wat tyres dont do that.

Next line up was Potenza GIII. So far grips like anything smooth but not the quietest tyre. Wheel Spin is minimal. In the wet is pretty good, probly not as good as the ER-50's. But thats my wrap. Potenza GIII is my best tyre soo far.

[Dylanamus]

Me and my fellow EF8 buddy are on 195/5015 Potenza GIIIs too.. they're very good bang for buck.

[barefootbonzai]

Advan A048

[SlobberGoat]

Yokohama A008R's.

[newbie]

toyo proxies 4 are ok, tpg i found little better than the proxies4

yoko es100 were better than both, but noiser.

[civiceg9]

I cant find any info. on these. Are they a semi? If they are street, how do they compare to fm901's?
Advan A048 I think they were call, just road tyres, but they were really sticky like FM901 but they dont make them anymore, quiet tyres too.
Cant drive semi on the streets, all the rocks and stone just sticks onto the tyres.

Using G3 right now, they are ok

Advan A048 are semi slicks mate. I think you remebered the wrong name.

[xtercii]

']azenis are great, even tho they wear out a lil quick for my liking

I originally had falken zeix on my 200 and the car was stock, zeix were totally useless in the rain, wheel spins even in the second when I am giving it…azenis just gripped so well that I had to test it out in the dry and wet.

Yes they do wear out too fast that’s why I don’t’ use it no more…

[Spoon DA9R]

yeah A048 r gd...but i wanna try RE555...apparently they are even better....but A048 is got for both streets and track apparent....don't get Proceeder2....its crap...and i think for streets though...best has to be Neova gd in dry..perfect in the wet...too bad not approve by DOT

[spetz]

Best tyres I ever had (and still on) are Bridgestone S-02 Potenza

Great grip dry and wet
But I think their sidewalls are a bit stiff for traction

[BiLL|z0r]

spetz, are those tyres noisy? I was looking at them but most tyre places said they are really noisy and don't bother.

[preludacris]

what a good bang for buck tyre thats not so noisy?

Eg, equivalent to potenza g3 but less noisy

sorry for the noob question

[Spoon DA9R]

tim..the Proceeder2 is very gd..and very quite....but its about 890 for a set of 4..but very very quite..and gd in the wet...

[boggey]

hey guys just woundering on ur opinions on the goodyear gs d3 cause heard lots of good things bout them but at $1400 for all four is there any others i should have a look at.
I was thinking maybe the toyo proxes but i heard that they dont last too long.

oh sorry forgot to mention that part its 225/40/18

[Gerald28]

i had the goodyear gs-d3 in 225/40/18 before, and i didnt really like it that much.

i now have yokohama advan sport, and it really has changed the handling characteristics dramatically. These tyres have a lot of grip, and are much quieter than the goodyears.

[Professional]

My eg is using AD07 195/55/15. I am very happy with it. It improves a lot of grip compare my old tyre ST115.

[misteR_bilzz]

Ive noticed that with alot of good year tyres - theyre pretty noisy but theyre not bad handle well...

[Zdster]

Please keep all questions about tyre prices to PM or start another thread in the 'where to buy' forum. This should just be about the best tyres you have/were running.

Can't be bothered going under the house to check, but I believe it's 280 -Same as the eagle f1's (squishy sidewall on the t1r though).

[BlitZ]

Don't take offence to this but i've heard you're pretty much payin 4 a name wit azenis!


the azenis is a very very good street tyre.. suprised the shit out of me.
tread life is shorter than an ants d1ck.

and they arent semi slicks

[SlobberGoat]

Yokohama A008R's

[ArcaneMagik]

Bridgestone RE55S best ever!
Street tyres .. G3's :) Im very bias to Bridgestone


I am loving the G3's as well. Delaying my next set of rims so I can get more wear out if the G3s.
