street tires ??

[ken_xman]

What does everyone else run for street tires?
87 targa, summer only, no rain, no track, reasonably priced?

Not to be an asss, but this subject is beat to death every 3 months or so. See that seach button in the upper right corner? It will lead you to a wealth of information on this subject. And not to be a complete asss, I am running Bridgestone S03's on my '86 Carrera.

I was lazy on the search....I know.

3 months? Seems more like every 3 weeks... and I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE750's.

It's a good topic to rehash occasionally as new tires come out often and ours wear out very quickly.

probably the best handling and safest street tire available.

Do a search for a thread titled "Every Day Tires" to find a thread I started a while back. I could just post the link here, but ".. if you teach a person to fish, he eats for a lifetime."

Wrong Harry! If you teach a man to fish, he spends his days in a boat on the Willamette...drinking microbrew.

and that's a problem because ..........

It's a problem because the Willamette has too many toxins in it, including mercury. I suggest going up the McKenzie until we finish cleaning up the Willamette. I predict it will be on the cover of Nat'l Geogr. again in 5 years.

Randy, I think pwd72S and HarryD are fishing without bait so as not to interfere with drinking microbrew. Priorities, man!

[masraum]

Bridgestone RE 750's myself, but just because I couldn't afford the S03s.

Also the BFGoodrich KD's have amazing grip in the dry, or the KDW's add some wet protection. Then there are also a couple of very commond Yokohama models, and the newest up and comer (cheap too) Khumo (sp) or is that Kumho or something like that.

that's a great street tire IMO.

my brother has a set of them on his '88 in lala land.
He grew up as a cab driver in NYC metro. He drives his '88 like a NYC cab driver thru w LA on 750's, with great tire performance,
w/ no squeal.

My Yoko 100Es's felt squirrely at high speed when new (only 200 miles on them before I sold the car). Several people told me (here) that they were not the best below about 65 oF or so.

That makes me want to try for the SO-3's if I can ever get my '73 back together. Tho maybe the Es-100s would have sertlled in in a few more hundered miles?

I bought a set of B.F. Goodrich Traction T/A's. They are incredible
in rain and dry. They are not inexpensive, but Tirerack rates them very high. Charlie

Tires and fishing huh? The car I drive has B.F Goodrich t/a's, (previous owner choice.) The fronts where new in 2000 and have alot of tread left whereas the rears are from '97 (!) and getting a bit worn so I might buy two new B.F. for the rears or four new SO-3's. I hafta think about that. It is good to see someone else in the world is running these B.F>'s One notable thing: it seems they have Left and Right tread designs and are therefore not interchangable... Are there other tires on the market like this? Now I have to go double check to see if I am running two right tires or two left tires.....
