I'm talking about everyday driver tires, not slicks... Just yet
I've heard of Nitto 555's, any comments?
Also, will the combination of tires and motor mounts increase traction by a feel-good, smile when you drive it, amount?
Input greatly appreciated!

 

It really depends on your driving style, your driving conditions (lots of dust, rain, etc) and how long you want your tires to last. Softer compounds give better traction on dry roads but don't last as long as harder compounds. Motor mounts will help to reduce the front tire wheel hop. If you drive hard, they'll probably be worth it.

I luv my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s!

 

Pirellis and Dunlops have always been great, check tirerack.com and read the reviews, they have a pretty comprehensive thing going there

 

I have had BFG G-Force Sports for 90,000 miles now. 80ish thousand on the first set, and I just bought a new set (only because my tie rod went bad and wore the inside of the RF tire down. They last a long time, they don't sing, and they handle amazingly. They are the best dry handling tire on the market. I love them and wouldn't trade them for the world.

I did however have Toyo Proxes 4 on the car for about a month...and hated them. They had highway wander, they sang worse than the stock KDW IIs....they were atrocious.

BFG G-Force Sport all the way Then get some steelies with snow tires for winter.
