Tires NITTO or Maxxis
I have Nitto Motivo tire on my Golf and love them. Good grip and wear.
They're fantastic for DE's / non-competition for all the reasons you list. I 100% recommend for HPDE for both performance and bang-for-buck. Pros: -They last a very long time compared to every other R compound tire out there (I've run Toyo, Hankook, Hoosier, etc etc.) -Cheap compared to other 100 treadwear tires. They ship straight from Maxxis and come with a T-shirt. -Not a lot of fade, both during a session and over multiple heat cycles -They give you a lot of feedback and tend not to snap loose
I actually had a few sets of the Gen 1 Exit 555 Nittos and felt they were an extremely underated tire. Awesome grip, even when cold, wore like iron, and handled wet conditions like it was child's play.
+1 they look like correct for a Jeep tire vs everything else out there and I'm pretty happy with them over the last 15000 miles or so.
Nitto 555s on my Shelby were the best tire I've ever had on a car.they were super sticky and quiet.
Maxxis makes pretty durable tires. High roller rolls a little slow but grips well, Ardent rolls pretty fast and offers decent grip.
I am a big fan of the Crossmarks. They are definitely not as grippy as something like the Ardent, but they are very, very fast.
Neo Gens are awesome when it comes to stretch.
I'm running Nitto NT450s, 205/40/16 on an 8.5" wheel, but they're about bald. So I've ordered a set of Neo-Gens in the same size, they should be here before the weekend. Jason from 4everkustomz in Reamstown is mounting them.
If the DHFs are hard to mount on a given rim, particularly Stans, wait till you try a Maxxis Ikon. One of the hardest tyres I've ever installed.
