Looking for 225/40/18s that are great with dry grip and are the longest lasting in this class of tire. I know it still wont last that long, but I want the best. We get probably 20 days of rain the whole year, so I will just drive more carefully when it does rain.

You are almost asking the impossible: a great dry grip tire that lasts long. You have to pick one or the other.

Yea, I'm aware that it's hard to get a long lasting dry grip tire, I was just wondering if there was any that had maybe better wear than others. Ok, here's the new question: What's the best dry grip with minimal road noise?

what kind of mods do you have rein? what kind of times have you ran? what kind of cars do you race and beat.... your car looks tight

Well, the car you see pictured is now sitting in my dad's garage for the next 3 years. I'm driving a 98 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro. It has an APR exhaust and an APR Chip. It's estimated putting out 216 hp and 262 ft lbs. I just bought the thing yesterday in san diego, and let's just say I had a good time with it on the freeway drive back up here. In comparing it with the estimated times on supercars.net, I'd guess low 14s. I don't think I'll make it any faster as that is just fine for a "luxury" car.

how about yokohama es100?

Toyo T1-S

Nitto Neo Gen, are in my opinion, the best tires out...
