What max summer tire do you like?

I have been doing alot of research for a max summer tire. What do you suggest. Price is no issue, quality in wet/dry and low noise is more important. Well treadwear is also important.

BFG g-Force T/A KDW-2. I have heard they are noisy

Bridgestone RE-01R

Bridgestone RE-050A

Bridgestone RE-760 Sport

Continental ContiSportContact 3

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

Fuzion ZRi

General Exclaim UHP

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

Hankook Ventus R-S2(Z212)

Kumho Ecsta SPT

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

Pirelli PZero

Yokohama S.Drive.


What would you buy if money was no issue????

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. I have had these for three years. Hands down the best tire I have ever owned.

i liked the Dunlop sport Maxx... a tad noisy, but when comparing to quite all-season, all those will be "noisier"

i just got falken fk452 yesterday, will have input in a few days on them

These, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 are HANDS DOWN the best MAX Performance Summer tire on the PLANET.

The Michelin's are pricier, but you said price isn't a factor, so you can't go wrong with either of these.

Now, this seafoam stuff you mention...what is it? What does it do? Have you used it? Will it improve my gas mileage (maybe if I get some spacers, too)? Do you have instructions on how to use it?






Oh, and to answer your question...no, no one searches .

New tires take about 100 miles just to get the mold release agents off the rubber, then about 1000 to get fully broken in and working.
Dont judge your new tires until the have the proper miles, and dont push them hard in that 1st 100 miles or you may discover the casting mold release agent is some slippery stuff

YAH I DID SEARCH ALOT. And heard the PS2 is an awesome tire. They also weigh less then most.

the summer tire issue has about 10 recent threads on who likes what brand and why
A simple search would pull them up for you
Some members are happy to type things 100 times- others try to teach you how to fish!!!!

General Exclaim UHP #1 in test of summer tires by tirerack, what more do you want to know!

prozak-hahahahaha how old school

look at your post total, you been here a while- its reasonable to think you can operate the functions of search, and visual check of thread sections- like TIRES, which have their own area
