Tire Experts Help Me Out
ii need 4 new tires for my roc. stock size 245 50 16. im abosuletly stumped on what to get. Ihave these in mind but ii dont know much about em:
Kumho Supra 712s
Pirelli P7000s
Yokohama ES100s
and any other recommendations are appreciated. im looking for aa decent perfoming tire, meaning they can handle and hook up good on hot top. rain traction doesnt matter at all neither does mud, snow etc. ii do burnout so ii dont expect the rears to last me aa million miles but ii need the whole set to get me through the summer around 15K miles. ill probbaly be using em at the track now and then so id like em to have good hookup thats my main concern and handling too. so any one have any insight?

Dunlop SP9000 or SP6000s
I have 6000s and they hook nicely. Other than these, Potenzas and BFGoodrichs are good. I have heard people talking about cooper cobras, but they weren't turning out much HP.
I heard the potenzas were really sticky.
The dunlop SP9000s liik like nittos' with deeper tread.
--May be what you want since you do burnouts, and you wouldn't be able to affoard 300 bucks in Nittos' every 3 months

I have have the all season tread version of the KDW's. I love'm. These KDWS's grip much better than the miss matched crappy tires on there before. Lots of grip, enough that the rear won't come loose out of a low speed turn when I goose it.
Also, the traction in wet weather conditions is great on these, even better traction than when I was driving an 88hp escort!!!
