Tires .... which ones are the best ...

We have broken down tires into several catagories and here is a short list of what I have experienced in our testing. Now remember, we do not have
every single tire line in the world so, if your particular favorite is not in this list it is probably because we haven't tested it. Also, this is my take on the
testing that I have completed here at The Tire Rack on our test track.

Maximum Performance:

These are the absolute best performing tires on the market. Great steering response and wet/dry traction (not for use inthe snow!!!) which is at home
on the track.

1.)S-03 Pole Position
2.)Pilot Sport
3.)P-Zero Rosso
4.)Ecsta MX
5.)AVS Sport

There is 1 glaring omission in this list. It is the BFG G-Force T/A KD. The reason for this tire not being on the list is because of its lack of versatility. It is
the best performing tire in the dry but, is almost scary in the wet.

Ultra High Performance:
A step down form the Max tires but, still exceptional performance which fits most application for a street tire that can be driven very aggressivley.

1.) Firehawk SZ50 EP
2.) Potenza RE730's
3.) A520
4.) G-Force KDW
5.) Sport 8000
6.) HTR Z II
7.) HTR Z
3-7 are all very close in performance levels. The noise issues of the 730's are mostly related to larger/heavier cars with rear wheel drive.

Ultra High Performance All Season
Performance tires which are capable of going through the snow.

1.) Pilot Sport A/S
2.) Sport 5000
3.) AVS DB (the quietest tire I have driven)
4.) G-Force KDWS
5.) Pilot XGT Z4
6.) P7000 Super Sport

I hope this helps you in your tire selections

Thanks, Luke@tirerack

I'd say he's on the money. I have the Potenza SO-3 on my Shelby Dodge. They rock. I had the Firehawk SZ-50 EP's on my wife's Mustang just before I put the Potenza RE-730's on there. They both rock. I also have the Potenza RE-730's on the P5 right now. Again... They rock. The Firehawk/Potenza line are the best tires I have personally owned.
