I'd vote for the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. I ran the Continental ExtremeContact DW that is now discontinued and loved them. The Sports are supposed to be even better.

No need for an all-season if you don't drive in cold weather.

Currently running Nitto NT555-G2's. They look nice and are a pretty good tire, just not as good as my Continental's were in my opinion.

I was thinking of going that route but I know I will get more tread life out of an all season which is why I am looking at those and they are a bit cheaper as well....

I think I have settled on the BF-Goodrich G-Force COMP 2 A/S

I just got Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. Got to try them in snow, rain, and dry highway.

Really like them.

What about this list guys anyone have experience with these.. I have had Toyo TR1, Hankook V2, Pirelli, and Goodyear supercar f1s.. none hold the power so far nothing probably will but would like the best.. below is a list I left off anything over 500 a tire like Torfeo and Torfeo R, and a wider Pzero autocross tire 315 at 800.00


I have ordered drag tires 305 40 18s but looking for ultimate grip street tire with off line grip and corning when not running drag tires. I don't care about wet traction I don't ever drive in rain. I don't care about lasting.. I want a tire to go to car show, trips or cruises that handles good and if someone wants to race I don't spin all that much.. kinda impossible since im 700 plus at wheels.. but i know there is something better than my F1 supercars..

1. Question that has never been answered really is it better for 315s in a medium 300 tire vs a 305 in a 100.. what I mean is what would grip more a stickier 305 with slightly lees contact patch or 315 that's not so sticky with a slightly larger contact patch.. I ask this because there are a lot of soft tires in the 305 30s

315 35 20s

Michelin pilot super sport 300 AA A
Bridgestone S007 240 AA A
Continental ExtremeContact 340 AA A
Pirelli PZER0 Ferrari 160 AA A unlike the 220 compound that came stnd
pirelli PZER0 PZ4 AA A not available but the autocross tire is 60 or 80 AA A
PZERO CORSA PZC4 autocross streetable 60 AA A
Nitto 05s 200 AA A


I'm Not opposed to the 315 30 20
Toyo R888s 100 AA A

or anything in the 305 35 20

Goodyear f1 G2 fairly good autocross and street but no straight line grip
Bridgestone RE050A 140 AA A
The rest are listed above.. in same size and compounds

305 30 20 is good tooo..

Cont Contiforce Contact 305 30 20 autocross 80 AA A
Dunlap Sport Max Race 80 AA A
Mich Sport Cup 2 180 AA A
PZERO Corsa System 60 AA A
Brig RE070 140 AA A
Eagle F1 Supercar 3 220 AA A




Some of these tires are standard on ferrari, lambo, and mclaren they manage to knock off some good 1/4 times.. my mph beats on my F1s at 131 but they are 1 to 1 1/2 sec quicker. I'm sure there lighter cars and that helps with off line performance and tire spin..
