Seeking recomendations and experiances good and bad with your tyres.

I need to get some very sticky tyres to get the power to the road.

currently looking at street legal race tyres but there life would be very short.

and i think this could be used as good referance for everyone else when they are seeking new tyres so please put your opinons about your tyres in this thread so we can all benefit from your experiances

Hmmm.... let's see:

Falken Azenis - cheapest semi-race tyre one i've been told, but also not as effective as Nittos/Dunlops/Yokohamas

then there's the Nitto NT555R street/drag radials - i've heard they're very expensive (for a tyre)...

i've heard the Yokohamas and Dunlop semi-slicks are quite good, but not sure on the model name or price

when you have 400hp at the wheels, i think Danny would be referring specifically to semi-slicks, not your average daily-driven performance tyres...

With the kind of power your talkin Danny, no tyre is gonna stand up to dumpin all that power to the road.

At the moment im leaning towards bridgestone RE540s on the front and some toyo RA-1s on the back

has anyone used either of these tires or the Dunlop formula R tires
