New Best Street Tire - Poll!

6spd · 02-01-2010, 06:15 PM

I've only tried the Hankook Ventus V12 and the Dunlop Direzza's on my RSX. The Direzza's were incredible, but were asking for death in the rain. The Ventus I put on after selling the Direzzas, and I was amazed at the very low, almost nonexistent noise levels and the almost on par with the Direzza grip, but real good in the rain. My vote goes to Ventus, and I'll be putting them on the Z when ready. Plus the price is just silly low!

Are you saying that the V12's are almost as good as the Star specs???? Sounds a little odd to me, do you track any of your cars?

Man, I totally forget u were running 19" wheels, but I switched to the 18" Volk CE28N for lighter weight......whoops yeah, but I think I'll go for 265/35/18 in front and 285/35/18

No, not as good, but as far as regular driving goes, with the few times I pushed them, I prefer the Ventus. I never tracked the RSX, but this is a street tire poll right?

I need to get the Z into some auto-x ASAP
