Which tires do you prefer - Page 2

I tend to lean toward Toyo or Nitto in most cases. Depends on the application. Getting some Nitto NT05s mounted on my new wheels later this month

My car had Toyo Proxes 4s on it when I got it. Very very impressive all-season tire that I would recommend to anybody that is after an all-season. For those that haven't heard of the NT05s I HIGHLY recommend checking them out. I was going to go with Toyo T1Rs but these NT05s just sound too badass to not give a try. They're similar to the Falken RT-615s in that they are about halfway between a UHP and an R compound tire, but they don't overheat and get greasy as easily as the RT-615s (BIG plus for heavy cars), don't need as much heat in the first place for full grip and are a lot better in the wet. I guess Falken has a new version of the RT-615 now too thats supposed to be sticky as hell, but I'll still be going with the NT-05s since I drive in rain a decent amount and Falken is VERY proud of the new RT-615.

Pirelli, but have had good luck with GoodYear and Kuhmo.
