Default What tires do you run?
Just curious as to what the general public uses for street application... This is just general so sorry if the options are simply limited to Goodyear and Nitto, those seem to be the most popular.... i'm also pretty new when it comes to tires.

Eagle F1 GS-D3 315's on the rear and 275's on the front. Excellent tire in wet and dry conditions in my experience.
