This is more directed towards the mods, but I wanted to throw out his suggestion to everyone's opinion. I'd really like to see more detailed/updated tire reviews. It's great that chet listed all of those reviews, but the information is starting to get a little old. I've seen it slightly updated from time to time, but there are many tires missing from the list that I have been wondering about. I think most of the reviews do not include heat, which would be a big concern for any one tracking their car. Do they get greasy, plasticky, etc.I also would love to see DOT R compound reviews. I've been searching other forums for weeks looking for tire reviews, and I keep on hearing conflicting information. I think it would be a good idea, if possible, to make a big list of tires according to the best grip they can provide on the same wheel and car. The tirerack reviews are ok, and the user feedback reviews are even more helpfull, but it would really help to know if Bridgestone S02's have more dry grip than S03's, or Azenis Sports, or etc. I'd really love to see comparisons accross performance categories, where performance tires are compared with high performance tires. Maybe we could set up better way to track people's tire reviews.This is just what I've been thinking for a while. I recognize that this would take some work to incorporate, and I really don't have a lot to contribute to tire reviews yet.

I do include heat tollerance in my rakings of tires...thats why the Pzero, despite having less initial grip is ranked higher than most people would think without taking heat into consideration.

what tires exactly did I miss, I think between my reviews and tire racks reviews and test it covers pretty much everything, except NITTO's and things like that, which I admitedly dont have a ton of experience with(and the experience I ahve had..has been negative)-chet

Thanks for the replyI'd love to see some feedback on these tires not on the list:Falken Azenis ST-115Bridgestone S02Bridgestone RE750Dunlop SP 9000BFG KDW2Toyo tires? I haven't heard much about these at all

I thought these tires could use more infoGoodyear GS D3Kumho Ecsta MXDunlop FM901

Also, I wanted to note that I appreaciate what's up there, at the tirerack, and when all of the mods post stuff about tires. I'm really interested in seeing how some of these tires compare, such as PZero asimmetricos vs. Azenis sports or ES100's vs. FM901's. The rankings help in this respect, but maybe some more detailed info could help, as the Tirerack does not carry EVERY performance tire.
