need new tires

[akilli89]

Okay, I'll be getting new tires soon, I don't wanna go with something cheap and generic and I want a good brand/company. For the sake of the best answer, lets say money isn't a problem. (it really is but oh well) Toyo, Yokahama, Bridgestone, Michelin? What is really the best? I don't race, but I do like to take corners kinda fast and act like I'm Ricky Bobby.
(if you don't get that, go watch Taladega Nights)

I want a 'sporty' type look as well, not just some basic treads.

By the way, I did search for this but found nothing so I hope I'm not beating a dead horse when I ask this.


Thanks in advance,
Akilli

I'm running these right now. Fantastic wet and dry performance. Good traction in snow (it's not a snow tire, but it's great for an all-season). Really good bang for your buck. They leave a bit to be desired on dirt an gravel... but generally any tire does that isn't a gravel tire.

I had ecsta 711 and ASX, personally I dont like either, I have general tire exclaim UHP on now and I could be happier with these, must better grip and it looks like a much better tread wear, the 711's lasted a whole 10k miles

Those potenzas are nice, I actually had to replace 2 of my tires and decided to go with them but when I need all of them replaced I want them all, obviously to be the same. I heard that bridgestone tires wear down in dangerous patterns though, any truth to the myth?

so you want a sporty look without it actually being sporty? if that is the case, I would say Nitto NeoGens. If you actually want the sporty, Falken Azenis hands down.

Mine seem to be wearing just fine... had a few issues with slow leaks, but I think that's just due to my wheels being out of round.

Thanks everyone who responded!! I think I'll get a set of all 4 potenzas, because I have 2 on my back already. and if I don't like them, I'll look into the kumhos a bit more. Or the falkens.

thanks again!

Stay away from Falkens, I've heard some stories about them...
