Tyre Recommendation thread

[d15z1SUX]

the rs2 will wear out faster as it is more performance orientated than s1 evo k107. rs2 has a wear rating of 200 and s1 evo k107 280.

but if you want better grip the rs2 is better.

actually what did u want in a street tyre? some people want something that will last longer and have less road noise while others only want all out grip... really depends what you want.

Do google search on 'UTQG' rating.

I did a search, but could not determine if it can be found on the tyre itself

Some tyres have them, some don't. Bridgestone, yokohama and Michelins do, but not all Dunlops do.

anyone know of any 40 or 45 or 50 profile tyres for 14" wheels?

185 or 195 or 205 wide

Usually it'll say something like "Wear rating 280 temperature rating A traction rating A"

It's a useful rating, but not everything.
The biggest factor in (abnormal) wear is probably toe.
