[Federal 595 RS-R](https://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/federal/235%252F40-17+federal+595+rs-r+racing+90w+bsw.html) 235/40/17 under $100 per tire. I loved this tire, grip so nice.
Pros: grip so nice
Vehicle:
Nissan
I ran Nexen N-Fera SU1 on my GTI this summer and they were great. Wet/Dry performance for the daily driver was great, noise wasn't an issue either. Seem to be wearing well.
Pros: great wet/dry performance, wearing well
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So I have the 595 evos on my Genesis Coupe. Tire wear is pretty good I've had them for 3 seasons now and I'll likely get a 4th out of them. They have a veeerrry stiff sidewall and are quite difficult to mount/dismount. They're very responsive and turn in is very good. They grip and grip and grip in the dry, but in the wet they're not very confidence inspiring. They also run slightly bigger than the size listed.
Pros: good tire wear, very responsive
Cons: stiff sidewall, difficult mount
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
I run 595 evo's in the rear on my M3, they were cheap as fuck ($75/tire from amazon) and seem to have the longest tread life of any tire I've ran. Typically I get 5k-7k miles on my rear tires and I've had these for 7k now and there's a lot of life left. They wear super evenly too, grip in the dry is perfect, wet is fine unless you get on it, then of course you spin a little.
Pros: longest tread life, even wear
Cons: spin a little when wet
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 11265 km
I use them on my 240sx, if you are just autocrossing for fun and to gain experience they are great, but not competitive compared to other tires legal in street/stock classes.
Pros: great for fun, gain experience
Cons: not competitive
Vehicle:
Nissan
I second the Federal 595 RSR.
Pros: good performance
I ran them on my 850 volvo for a while. Seemed to wear well and I had no issues.
Pros: wear well, no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo 850
I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J
Pros: better than stock Contis
Cons: not best in wet, easily spin
Part number: N5000
I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
Pros: acceptable first half of life
Cons: horrid second half, scary grip
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
Cons: worn almost to belt
