Favorite Tires!

pretty sure it all depends on teh tire model.
Kumho MX's are supposedly a very good tire, esp considering the price.
RT-615's are better
Dunlop Direzza Star-something is better yet.
and all 3 of those companies make junk tires..

I used to use dunlop d60 a2's. Loved those tires, they were cheap and easy to get. Not bad wet and dry. But they quit selling them so I moved to the bridgestone pole position all weather ones. I could not get them to break loose. Added a few MPH in the dragon with them. I will switch to them on my vert here before I go on cruise.

I use Kumho Mx's 205/50-15 as my street, track day , autox rain tire. they have decent grip and shed the rain really well. They are slippery on track when cold and need a lap or two to warm up. I use Hoosier cantilevered slicks 20x9.5-13 for my dry autox tires. I like the 13's for the lower gearing and less rotational mass.

What he said. No point in picking a tire by the brand. Pick it by the performance of the particular model.
