Tires Hankook or NITTO
Nitto 555s on my Shelby were the best tire I've ever had on a car.they were super sticky and quiet.
The new Hankook V12 Evo2 is supposed to be better in terms of quietness and driveability. That may be a good buy on a budget.
I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2s for the winter and Hankook all-seasons for the summer.
Neuspeed RSe52 18x8 with 225/40/18 Hankook R-S3 (my current track setup)
I had Hankook Ventus V12s on my old IS250 after the factory Bridgestone ER33 (Now that is a $hit tire) wore out. They were great and half the cost of the ER33s.
Neo Gens are awesome when it comes to stretch.
I've always had luck with Neogen's and they tend to stretch really well.
I'm running 215/40-18 Nitto Neogen's on my 9.5" without a problem.
I just put on the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2s and the ride and noise level on these are absolutely fantastic for a discount tire. Rain performance is bleh though. I would recommend them for a car you don't corner with every time. Now let's see how long this quiet ride lasts...
Neo Gens are just that bad. I have a pair on the back of my wagon and they make the front kumho le sports feel like track rubber. Instant oversteer on demand especially in the wet.
