What street Tire are you using ?
 
I'm interested in what other people have used for the street, ex how grippy were they..did it live up to the treadwear rating etc..

i'll start it off.
I had kumho 712's 205/50/15 they were really grippy for the first 7000k, at the track i managed to pull off 2.3 60ft.. for straight line racing they were decent ... but when i brought them to shannonville they felt like crap .. the side walls were really soft and didn't inspire much confidence in the turns. The treadwear rating? well i pretty much threw that out the window because of all the racing/launches, i only got 30k out of them.
all in all i believe i paid for what i got.

I got a 2.1 second 60' on my 185/60R14 Falken Ziex 512's. Oddly enough, the bald Firestone Firehawk tires that came on my Miata wheels (I think they were OEM) gripped way better through the turns.

WoW, thats a pretty good 60ft you got there ... especially with those allseason falkens.. you must either know your car damn well or those tires are amazing for the strip :laugh:

So the ziex 512 has a pretty shitty sidewall too ?

i'm torn on what to get for new tires and was wondering if anyone has used these :

Falken Fk451's
Yokohama prada spec 2's
kumho mx's
i'd love to get toyo t1's but their way outta my price range.

P Zero Rosso's 355/25/19 and 285/30/19. Also running Michelin PS2's in 255/35/19, and 285/30/19. Then the hoosiers that are coming, same widths as the PZero's, just in 18's.

Right now I got 195/60/14 Michelin X-One's all around, rears have plenty of tread but the fronts getting low.
They'll be replaced with Michelin MXV4 195/65/15's on different rims for the summer.

Before next winter, I'll get a pair of new 195/60/15's or 205/55/15's on the back and put the good pair of X-One's on the front.
