Default Tires

I'm in need of some new tires! I was just gonna see what you all recommend, I currently have Sumimoto HTR-Z II's.
Any recommendations or thought are very helpful!

Well what are you trying to do? Do you care about mileage?

i wanna have some nice high performance tires without losing some mpgs, and im mainly a day to day driver who likes to give her a lil hell every once in a while, and i want traction when I do, nothing extremely fancy, just some radials that will put the power to the asphalt, not just the rubber

i run nitto nt05's they are probably THE best tire ive ever purchased but they are soft so they dont last very long. if you want a longer lasting tire with good grip i also like the bridgestone potenza re760's.

The rear tires are 275/40ZR18 99W (I have no knowledge in tires)
The sumimotos are alright, they are somewhat noisy, but they arent too bad

I've used these mostly and they are great! Best tire in my opinion! Unfortunately, I've only found them on ebay. Long lasting tire. I've had the same set for 5 years which included two cross country trips and a 2 hour daily commute for 2 of the 5 years and only now do they need to be replaced.
