Best Street Tires

What do you guys think are the best street tires? No I dont want to hear Drag Radials. I currently have Yokohama A032R and they are damn expensive, like $180 a tire.

I personally think the best bang for your buck tire is the Kumho 712, they can be had for about 105 a tire

best street tire by far if you aren't concerned about the $175 price tag is the firestone firehawk SZ50

tirerack rates them about a 9.3 dry traction, and i think high 8's wet

and the treadwear is high as well

I just put a set of these on not too long ago and so far they've been great, I give them a thumbs up.

I just bought a pair of the new Goodyear F1s, the GS D3s and love them! I cut a 1.99 60ft with them the other week too, so they hook up pretty good. Not too costly either.
