I dont think theres a topic on this subject, but it would be nice to know what tires other members run.
Do you use it for drifting, street, grip, etc., winter or summer tires, and how do you like them?

This can help out people who are in the market of getting tires for either street, track, drift, or whatever else.

I'll go first.

Tires front/ back: Falken FK452
Purpose: Daily driven, Spirited driving
Season: Summer
Personal Rating (1 to 5): 4
Your Review: They were on my first car, s13 hatch with 17in rims, kyb gr2 with tokiko springs, and strut bars front and back. i didnt know much about tires and quality back then, but damn they gripped good. Never had i ever lost control with the car, unless i meant it to, but even at that i had control. They gripped pretty damn good for daily driving, and they were almost brand new when i bought the car. i give it a 4 because im not going to give it a 5, when im sure theres probably better tires out there. they lasted me quite a while, and i only had to replace when i did massive burnouts one 4th of july, but thankfully i had open diff and had to replace one not two :chuckle:
I never REALLY drifted in these tires, as i had open diff autotragic at the time.

front/back: FALKEN fk452's and Continental extreme contact DWS
purpose: DD and drivin fast
season: for the fk452's, summer.... for the continental's all season.
rating: both get a 5 for what i use them for
the falken fk452s are awsome for taking turns when the road is hot and dry. they stick to the road REALLY WELL... and as for the continental's, they are an AWSOME all-weather, all_season tire. they lasted me 40,000-50,000 miles with rough daily driving and peel out's every now and again and stuff.... i'd recomend both of these tires to anyone. And i do always recomend them to everyone.
