Tire Opinions? What do you Use?

Hey Guys. I'm going to be getting some RS Limited CP10 Knock-Off's soon and I'm curious as to what you guys run for rubber. I had Yoko A520's on my Hatchback, and I am very very partial to them. They performed excellent. I'm also looking at NT555, but I'm not too impressed with Nitto.

What are you guys running and whats your opinions?

A Sport/Street tire... not drag, not autox, not all-terrain Just a street tire, something equilivelant to the A520's.

I've had Nitto NT450s and I hated them. They didn't grip anything like Nitto said they were supposed to. I wasn't impressed at all.

My Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's are excellent. They grip very surely in both dry and wet. Best dry handling, no squeel of the tire, just grip with no drifting. Best wet traction I've ever felt. It's hard to spin tire in the rain with these things, when compared to the Nittos.

My buddy had NT450's on his CRX, I had my A520's on my 6th Gen Hatch... our cars were equally fast. We raced from a dead stop... his crappy-ass Nitto's just spun, while my A520's gripped like a mofo.

I'll look into those Kumho's. Right now, it's a toss-up between the Yoko's and the Kumho's.

Got these and they are much better than the BF Euro TA's I had back in the day. Also cheaper

A520s were loud after awhile.

A good inexpensive street tire I recommend that I had were the Kumho 712s. I used them for autocrossing too with great results.

YES! My friend has these tires and I hear nothing but good things about them. I've driven his car and the tires grip very well... and the wet traction is great. I'm getting these tires for my car shortly.

Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712.

We use them on the integra, and they are awesome. The way my bf drives we have to replace them sooner than we should but they are overall the best.

I'm not really into the hardcore street tire, I am simple (and broke) so I use Dunlop D60's ($60 a piece). I like em.

I’ve got Toyo T1s on my FTO. I have found them to be really good and would definitely consider buying them again in the future.
