Tires for twisty roads So Im going on a road trip down to the Dragons Tail here in North Carolina. Well I need some new tires anyways. So I was wondering what kind of tires are good for twisty turns.

Toyo RA-1s are a another good choice. They last longer than NT-01s also..... but not by much 
R-compound tires if you have never driven on them work really well.
Mich Pilot Sport or the Cups are awesome but expensive.
There is a guy on eBay that sells Toyo RA1's new but they are about 2 years old... for cheap! I picked up a pair of 335/30/18's for $350 shipped! They are $400 each plus shipping normally....

IMO, the Nitto NT-01 is the best no-brainer choice... They last just as long as the RA-1 and are cheaper than any of the other options listed.

Re11 bridgestones are actually at the top for a race tire that is well mannered on the street, and can be driven in rain. Dunlop starspecs are also up there. Re11s are a warm weather tire like most mentioned, and crap in under 50 degs. Michilin also has supersports coming out in a month way better perf. Than ps2s.
