Best Grip

[Igino Cazzola]

Which tire has the best grip at 20°C (tire temperature)?

[Nick1881]

Wet or dry?

Why at that temperature? What is it you require from the tyres?

[Igino Cazzola]

...Why at that temperature?

That's my way of saying: Summer use without preheating.

What is it you require from the tyres?

Grip, Grip and Grip. Economy and comfort; doesn't stir my bowl.

If he wants them to last only 3000 miles.

The new Continental CS5 came top in recent reviews, closely followed by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy.

I am running the Goodyear myself and have no complaints at all, it's an excellent tyre.

3000 miles is a bit short, but if they last 10000 miles; I'm OK.

I've used both Continental and GoodYear, but they didn't suit my driving style (too hesitant of steering inputs).

Pirelli Pzero Nero. Excellent tire. You will have very responsive steering also.

Now i have Bridgestone RE050A. Good also, but gets a while to warm up. Pirelli was better

Those new Bridgestone Potenza S001 look real good. Not sure what pricing will be like. Should be comparable with F1 Asymmetric. Anyone tried the Dunlop Sport Maxx TT? They've come out better than the F1's in a lot of tests of late.

I have the bridgestone re050a too and tbh I'm not that impressed with them, it's not that they're bad just that for the money they are not that good. I've had better performance from cheaper tyres. I find them no better than Yokohama s306 that I used to have and they were 40 quid cheaper per corner! Once these are done I'm planning to go for Falkens.

[Igino Cazzola]

At the moment I'm leaning towards Yokohama AD08 or Bridgestone RE-11. Any comments'?

[E910]

Bit of an overkill for a street driven IS200. I have Bridgestone RE001 on my Altezza which are the next step down from the RE11 & they more than manage to keep my 210PS under control.

hi,presently got falkens on my rear,although tbh not sure what to make of them,wouldn't go for toyos though.The problem is finding a happy medium.The softer the tyre compound the more grip you get but the quicker the rate of wear and thats why the toyos have excellent grip but only last a few thousand miles,had them on my mazda xedos 6 years ago and they wore down pretty quickly.

Yokohama prada spec 2's are the best griping tyre ive had. They stopped my old 253bhp ibiza from spinning up, lasted a while aswell. plus they have a reinforced sidewall so they dont wear the edges as quick as the old toyo proxes t1r's i used to run, it just used to spin them up aswell.

Oh and there 1 of the best looking tyre's ive seen :)
