But thats my approach, not the "general consensus" so take it with a grain of salt, or if you;re a drifter use it as a reason not to like me.

Hey long time guys ok

HAN-GOOK = Korean in Korean **** tires LOL
KumHO = Korean tire also Great cheap tires !!
Kumho V710 Slicks Rock on my GTUs
I use japo tires tho Yoks and falkens for the street

Cheap tires are good only if you want to cruise and drive chill.
Medium grade tires like a kumho ecstas are great for cheap street tires with medium grade performance.60-80 bux each

I am using Falken (forget model) Z rated tires and there great.
Don't know the price because there just one of the free sets of tires I get.Rain traction is good but poor feedback with falkens but who uses them for real racing. I can smoke most people on these rubbers.

Yokohama neova are sick tires.There just great but very expensive.
I would use these rubbers for some serious street road racing.
$200+ each i'll use them only on my show wheels.

Road Racing Slicks Kumho V710

I ran these at Buttonwillow and there f*cking serious tires on stock turbo II wheels.once heated up you will feel the G-forces in your gut when your belly is on your left side and not the front. Seriously makes tears come out the side of your eyes.

When you say something like that, how can anyone take you seriously? You'll spend more money on tires that just sit on the car at car shows, than on tires that you use at the track? What, do you want to make people think that you roll Advans on the street? And if you actually looked around, compared tires, and had the ***** to buy a few different sets and test them out, you'd know just how ridiculous that sounds.

EDIT: I forgot to add, I bought four Neovas in a 225/40/18 for $350 shipped. Its not what you know, its who you know...
