Tires FEDERAL or VITOUR
We have Vitour Galaxy white stripe tires on our car in 185/80-14 size. They are affordable and works very good.
Pros: affordable, works very good
We have Vitour Galaxy tires on our car. They are affordable and work very good. We have a 1979 230 and the stock size there would be 175SR14. The closest I could find with white stripes was the Vitour tires in 185/80-14. They are a little bit taller than the stock size and fill out the wheel opening a little bit more, but I like how it looks and drives.
Pros: affordable, work very good, good looks, good drive
I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.
Pros: very fast, doesn't melt
Cons: super 200 tread life

They look better than my Vitours I bought in may... 90 minutes of track day time and 7 asphalt autocross events.
Cons: poor durability
I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.
Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ
Pros: V-rated tire
Cons: DOT approval uncertain

They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
Meh. Stones until they're proven. The regular P1's were a bunch of hype, which I was looking forward to, then they didn't deliver.
Cons: didn't deliver, just hype
