Tires....what u have\what u want

Hey guy...i was wondering what kinda rubber are you guys running on? And what you guys think is the best bang for the buck. Iam talking about high performance tires...not no winters
Iam in running Falken Ziex 502.....paid around 140 total each.....

Toyo T1-S

They are what I have and what I want. Otherwise, the Falken Azenis are cheap and awesome, but wet traction isn't so great.

i had the toyo proxies z34 or something ...i cant remember and those tires were **** in the rain...from going around 10-15 km if i slammed on brakes when there was light rain i would slide like 5-10 feet. To bad for me.....the ZE-502 are way better IMO
Please also put price if you know what you paid...

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, Kumho Ecsta MX, Falken Azenis, Toyo Proxes T1-S, Dunlop Sport FM901, Bridgestone Pole Position S03, etc. There are a lot of great tires out there, and each has it ups and downs except for the Toyo T1-S. Dunlop 901 is the cheapest in the high-perf category, so I'm trying these out with my new set of rims/tires. I have Falken Ziex 2 something or other right now, and they were great before, but as they wear, the grip really drops. I spun out a few weeks back doing a complex S curve (with elevation changes), and I know I could have done it way faster on other tires. (My mom wasn't impressed ) That's what made me go in search of new tires to begin with, so I ended up getting new rims and tires too.

I like my Michelin Pilots that I'm running right now. They're a good all-around tire, but I'm set on getting Yokohama AVS ES100s when I go to a larger wheel. They're getting really good reviews everywhere that I look.

I'm using Yoko Parada's, but will probably try either the T1-S or the Falken Azenis next. The Parada's are **** in the rain.

I'm running on Falken Ziex 502s, got them for $135 each. The Ziex are good, but not so good in wet surfaces. Looking to get Yoko T1-S or Falken Azenis for my next summer.

Running Kumho 712's right now, a decent tire that's good in the wet. Going to slap on a set Toyo T1-S' once the kumhos are dead.
