My Potenza's are shot...what kind of sport tires does eveyone like?

After 15k miles, my oem sport tires (Bridgestone Potenza) are shot (oh the price we pay). They were pretty good, but before I drop a load of cash, I wonder if there is better out there. I hear the Yokohama Advan is very good if not better than the Potenza. Anyone have any good experiences to share? Thanks.

if you're turbo, do NOT get KDW2's. I got 295 in the rear and they just break loose all the time.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get Goodyear Eagle F1s. As soon as these are shot I'm upgrading my wheels and getting some other tires.

I like my Falken FK452's

Fairly quiet, they do well in the rain, stick like glue on dry roads and tread wear seems above normal for a high performance summer tire as well.

I've had good luck in the past with Kuhmo Ecsta ASXs on my 350z. My stocks are actually still going strong but when they go out I will be looking to replace them with the ASXs.

+1 on not buying Goodyears - my F1 Asymmetrics are great in the rain, decent in the dry, but LOUD and not round...

Also, try searching, you'll find a ton of tire threads.

I think I'm going to give Sumitomo's HTR ZIII a try.

i have the new Nitto Invos and I love em. There is some road noise between 65-75mph but thats at. Handling is great and i cant believe how well they are in the rain.
