Default Need New Tires

It's time to get tires for my V. What is the best road racing performance tire out there for our cars? I like the Eagle F1's I have on there but the GS D3 has been discontinued and it is hard to find. Thanks

Do you want runflats?

My next set will be Nitto Invos. I have pilot sports on there and can't complain.

I have Bridgestone RE760s on mine. They aren't the grippiest tires out there, but they have held grip whenever I've needed them to(which is often since I kinda drive like a lunatic), and they have a 340 treadwear rating meaning they LAST. Also with a A traction rating(as opposed to AA) they spin more instead of wheelhopping. I only get hop if I really lay into it with the traction control off.

Michelin Pilot sports have 45K warranty. I love the ride compared to the Goodyear junk. Not gonna be the best on the track but will defiantly give you the best ride with good grip.
