Need help on a descent set of tires for theeclipse; inspection is up this month and i have poor man slicks on it 😉

i am looking for a good grip tire but something with good tread wear as well; i plan on a set of drag radials for the track on my stock rims. anything in a 235/40/18 will do

if you have a set thats not on here lemme know

TIA

i hated the Falkens on the talon, but the camber was so out of whack, I guess its not really a fair opinion.

I loved the my potenzas on the prelude, for the whole week that they were on it before it got totalled.

no snow

rain, some. its not really daily driven anymore so i can be a lil more agressive with peformance vs tread wear

I’m a big fan of Yokohamas…

I’ve never bought any of their more sports oriented tires, but I’ve never been happier with an H-rated tire than I was with A550Hs and Avid H4s. I have “comparable” Sumitomos on the Prizm now and they fucking blow compared to Yokohamas.

Falken Azenis Sports are best. I just got Dunlop SP Sport FM901’s and they have been my favorite tire so far. They even have decent rain handling. I used to have Sumitomo HTR+ but they didnt grip well and suck in rain. They came with a 40k mile warranty so that was a good thing. My first tire was the BFG’s and they sucked at everything. I will never buy BFgoodshit again.
