Best tires in 2020

ClemsonVQdude · 04-24-2020, 08:17 PM

What tires are you guys running these days?

I’m looking for some new 295’s, wanting something somewhat sticky but also good tread, Just a daily driver with bolt ons. I was thinking Nitto NT555 g2 or Nitto NT05 but wanted some other opinions/reviews before hand if possible.
Thanks

For a daily with little spirited driving I'd recomend Firestone indy 500. Ran 275 on the rear at 350ish whp good for fun and getting to work with some rain in the temps we see in this area. Unless you're doing some crazy driving you dont need that wide of tire N/A

I agree. I replaced my OEM tires with some. 255/40/19 Front and 285/35/19 rear. Got 4 for less than a grand Canadian. Great tires for the money!

I can't wait for my OEM set to wear down so I can pick up a set of pilot sport 4S's paired with my dream wheels (NISMO LMGT 4's)

Toyo Proxes R888's are interesting enough though... These have come across my radar too! I hear they hook amazing even on crazy HP applications

After OEMs, I've had 3 sets of Michelin Pilot $ports and afraid of using anything else.

I have a set of Mich Cup, 345's waiting to go on next.

I would suggest trying Bridgestone RE-71's. PS4S's I am not sure of. The PSS's on my Vette are OK. If you had a boosted car I would recommend R888r's.

Just wish the Re-71 would last more than a day and a half.

Traction or tread life. One or the another. Can't have both.

Haven't tried the Pilot Sports but r888r's are super sticky.

The R888's and the Cup tires are in the same class. The Sports are below those.

LOL so true. IMO they are not a 200 tread wear tire but they grip better then the RE-11s and they have a strong side wall which is great for cornering. I switched to R888Rs just because the rear 305/30/19 were such a pain to seat on the rim.
