Thread: "Street" Tire Recommendations NA/NB

    Default "Street" Tire Recommendations NA/NB

    So now that the AX Season is almost done I find myself in need of some "street" tires (aka Daily Driver) since what I currently have for "street" tires are down past the wear bars.

    So in a 15" Tire what are you non Daily Drivers running for everyday use "Street" tires?

    I ran these on the LE, and was happy with them.

    I have Comp Sport 2sA/S on my Celica GTS. Still decent grip and a 6 year/45000 mile warranty

    Just get some cheap off brand all season ones (which are often rebadged name brand last-year models) if you're not pushing it on the street (since it's not safe anyways) and save the bucks for good ones next autox season . I bet Baker has some affordable alternatives to the name brands --TCB !

    +1 on the S-Drives. I've been very happy with mine.

    Hankook V12 and the new V2 are both great value street tires with good performance. I used the V12's on several cars and had excellent results.
    I am running the Conti DWS on the E91, and they are fantastic. They recently came out with a new version, so the remaining originals are steeply discounted, if they have your size.

    How can they rebrand a tire? The manufacturer is molded into the sidewall. Are they veneering other brand info on them? Sounds interesting. What more ya know about this?
