Whats the best tire?

There really isn't a "best" tire per se... I think it really is personal preference. There are some factors that you should consider when purchasing tires. For example, what kind of weather will you be doing most of your driving in? If you live in Southern California, you could easily get away with just summer tires with good wet traction as it rarely gets colder than 50 degrees there but it can rain occasionally. Here in the Pacific NW we get a lot of rain and it can get pretty cold so I opted for some tires that were great all around, wet, dry or snow, which is why I got the Continental DWS. IMO, it's the best bang for your buck. That's the other factor, budget. I did most if not all of my research on tirerack.com before making the purchase. Read all the reviews, there's a lot of good feedback on that site.

I currently have the VEntus V12/S.Drive/RE11/DWS tirerack on my tabs and I'm about to read them.

Its gonna be a DD but not in the winter, I got a beater for that. I mainly want good tread and grip.

Birdman - what did you end up going with? sweet nismo btw!

Everyone will have a different opinion. I had a twin turbo 370 that i recently sold, but when I had it I ran Advan Neova AD08's all the way around. Only drag radials will grip better than Advans.

Keep in mind you lose some life WHEN you gain more grip.

My friend has got the 305 Ventus and he said they are decent tires for the price. Thx for the kind words. I got some goodyear runflat tires pending tirerack inventory, the Advan are currently on backorder - This way in the event of another tire blowout with barely any miles on it, I'll have extra tires sitting around. The Toyo are pretty good tires for performance with decent reviews; upon going through feedback and other posts, they have very limited tire thread, grip like mofos and are risky on wet surfaces (Should you find yourself caught in rain).

The Michelin are def a top choice if you are willing to shell out the $$.
