Tires GT Radial or WANLI
I have high praise for their overall quality. I owned a set of Savero HT2 all seasons and ran them on an older Explorer. They wore like iron; outstanding quality.
We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.
I have had great luck with GT Radial so far.
Currently running GTRadial Chamiro UHP1 tires and am about to install my 2nd set. They are CHEAP and almost as good at the Direzza Star Specs on my Porsche. I was shocked I got 20k miles out of them, they grip really well and don't get greasy easily at the track.
I have heard good things about GT Radials... I use "Road Hugger GT Eco" (aka Kumho something or other) and they have been great. Low noise, (relatively) good grip for being low rolling resistance.
I bought a set of GT radial Champiro with the expectation that it will be just a crap daily driver set. They actually have really good grip for non race tires. Seriously, so much so that when I put the front set on and went to autocross, it caused my car to spin out because the front had more grip than the rear.
Tires are 235 40 18 GT Radial Champiro UHP1 Ultra-high performance summer tire ^ VERY sticky tire w/stiff side wall (nice handling and picks up lots of little pebbles - but I would not trust this tire below 40 degrees)
Friend has a set, they are pretty good for how cheap they are, but they won't be as fast as most of the other 200 tw tires.
My friends were sponsored by "WANLI" for drifting back in 2008 or so. They worked great! Super hard and long lasting! I could go through multiple drift events with my non turbo KA engine in my 240 sx. OMG terrible tires for driving on the street though!
Went with $99 Wanli Chinese tires for immediate use. Thought how bad can it be just one day on these cheap tires.... WRONG! Wanli S-something bunch of random numbers touring tire: - Terrible road noise. A constant droning HUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :banghead: - Fall apart while turning, car literally felt as if wandering side to side. - For brand new tires they broke traction easily on acceleration. Very poor grip. - Zero feel, I mean the GTI isn't grounded to the ground to start with but this rubber killed off any feel for what the wheels were doing.
