Havent seen a tire thread up here on 6GC within recent memory..Just wondering what everyone "runs" and what they use them for.
Myself, i currently have 225/45/17 RE050's for my DD tires, touge and track.....  How my car currently sits  I also have some 215/45/17 star specs i use to rally/or "mud-driving".....  I plan to upgrade to some 245/40/17's (RE050 pole positions) for tracking only coming up here soon.. What all does everyone else run?? -------------------- (\__/)

At this point my baby is a DD so she's rolling on 215/45/17 Altimax HPs. I haven't pushed them very hard but so far they haven't let me down in snow, rain, or ice.

I ran KU36's for a while and they were amazing, although the treadwear wasn't, lasting around 17k lol.
Now I have Federal 595SS 225/45/17 and they are very good for the money ($100 a side which in Australia is dirt cheap, usual 17's in that class are around $200) In the process of looking up some daily tyres for my 15's, thinking RE001's. |

225/45r17 Nitto Neogens. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE I'm very disappointed in these tires. Compared to my last set of all seasons they have horrible traction in all conditions, very soft sidewalls, and the unusual tread pattern makes the car want to pull all over the place. Definitely going back to Bridgestones or Dunlops after these.

Continental Extreme Contact 205/40/17
They wear well and ride nicely. They are pretty terrible in any amount of snow or slush, but stick well in the rain. |

Winter(Now): 195/65/15 Studded Snow Tires, dk what brand, don't care as long as they keep it from sliding all over the place, which they have done so far and i have been able to drive to 2ft
snow banks at the end of my driveway after a storm on my way to work Any Other Time: 205/55/15 summer tires, have to get a new set this spring as the past fall was the end of my Yokohama Avid V4s', i used them for 2 years for daily driving and occasionally autocross |
