Thread: tires compromise bewteen grip and life

I have the 912's. A pretty good performance all season for the $. Just keep in mind they are no performance summer tire amd wont grip like one. Did a track day on them and they were predictable at 8/10ths but the small tread blocks absorb heat quickly and increase tread wear a lot. Good tire on the street though

i was planning to track mine just to finish them off because my next set of tires will be dunlop dz101's. but a side note on the 912's are their wet performance. they have good traction in the rain however when i had to brake somewhat hard, my brakes locked up on me pretty easily. im not 100% if it was the tire but i would think i wouldnt lose traction as easily.

i had the chance to really test the neo gens, they seem to be working better then the bfg drags i had

i run Bridgstone Adrenalin Potenza RE001. Have been great in the dry and wet. just my 2 cents.

My vote is for the Hankook rs3's.I bought a set for daily summer driving,and They are fantastic!I autocross on my Hoosier a6's,and on the same course,the rs3's are only about 7-8 10ths off on a 45 second course.Wear-wise they seem to be holding up just fine.I instructed at an auto-x school and took probably 50-60 runs in one day on them with no complaints.I would estimate maybe 10-12,000 miles of life expectancy.Tha's about 2 years for me.I have no idea what I paid for them,maybe $110 each?I have them in 225-45/15 size,on an 8" wheel.Just about perfect.

Yes rs3 are awsome. I wish I could get them but not sure about putting a 225 tires on my 15x6.

I has rs2 and those tires kicked ass!

No problem man hit me up.
