I have been looking for new tires for my 2001 GT and wanting something different than the current Goodyear Eagles RS-As. I have found a sale on a brand called Sumitomo, these are the performance series line. Does anyone know anything about them? Has anyone had a brand that stood out that they would recommend?

I have the Hankook's Ventus HR II and I love them, great grip and also great in any condition. I have had different tires and while some offer better grip for racing and curves, they suck in the rain and snow. They also offer many other models if you want something some more. I got mine for about 80 bucks a piece.

Eagle RSA's are good, nankang are high treadwear last longer but a hard tire, i've used nitto neogens and those were awesome, or yokohama tires grip great but are loud... get something with a 280-300 treadwear... those will grip nice

I have had many top tire brands fitted to my car but the one that stood out and gave me best grip was deffenatly Nankang. You can also get those bad ass semi-slick ones for street! And the yare actually legal... sweet eh?
