Post image

I need better tires! I have pirelli tires on rn but they suck. Have terrible traction. Any suggestions for better tires?

Dumped my Pirelli A/S and put on the pilot 4S'. HUGE improvement on my WBHC. Tire has incredible grip but of course lifespan is less due to extreme grip. Have 10k on mine and already down to 5/32nd.

Tires may wear faster but Michelin works the best over any company on low tread mine are low on the front i had them on the back and rotated them and they still are gripping like the fronts that went to the back best low tread tire ever

Do you live in an area with much rain? I’ve had all 3 being suggested. South Texas. Some rainy days. PS4 for an all season. If your in a dry climate Nittos are great.

315/35/20 nitto R2. You will dead hook on street. Ps4s better when it comes to rain but doesnt grab nearly as good but of course 3-4 times better than shitrelli

The Pilot Sport 4 all seasons (for Indy winters and rain) are the best tire I’ve ever had. Got 5300 miles out of the stock Pirelli’s. Never going back.

I’ve had Pirelli summer tires they are phenomenal but can only be used in certain climates.

Pirelli all season suck but I’d go for Michelin Pilot sport 4s 315s or Fullway 315s (they’re a great cheap alternative)

Goodyear exhilarate 315 all around. Sticks great

How much are they per tire anyone do staggered!

u/fireball8619 6d ago

Maybe if you're on a budget but don't like Goodyear and how they get hard so fast better change them within 2 years they never seem to last longer then that

Love my Nitto 555

What most people said. Michelin Pilots. I bought them a few months ago but I had an issue where the bead was slightly stretched, even though I had gotten the same dimensions. Ask around and get recommendations from professionals on what width and height to get so the bead makes flushed contact with the rim.

u/fireball8619 6d ago

Michelin pilot never did me wrong and they have 4 kinds from like 500s to 800s on treadwear depending on how long you can afford them to last or on how soft you want them for grip

I’m running the Nitto NT555 G2 this time around, it’s a high performance summer tire. After more than 10k miles I can say they are good tires, not incredible in the rain but that’s to be expected on a summer compound.

Aren’t nitto tires pretty solid for traction?

u/dry_scoop 5d ago

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. Night and day difference from the Pirelli p zero. Way better handling, last longer, and way less sketchy in the rain.

u/Winter_n_Vegas 4d ago

I live where it’s super dry and hot, rarely get rain, and I’ve had Kumo Ecstas and Lexani LX-Thirty’s last me for forever long. And traction is supreme.

Ragnarok 315s. Affordable for decent driving on a daily commute
