I ordered a set of 16x7 wheels last night, and need to get a set of rubbers for them. I am looking for ultra high performance summer tires, that I can daily during the summer while still offering good performance at autocross events.
The car is going to be running with a 2.7i engine, 3.25 lsd, GE coilovers, m3 mount front sway, and ix rear sway bar. It should be a competent setup, but will be in a competitive class (stx), and while I have no illusions of winning, I want to get tires that offer me the best performance I can reasonably obtain.
In the past, I have run s.drives (not impressed), General Altimax (even worse), and Ziex 912's (nice and grippy).
I am trying to stay under $350 for all 4 using a $100 off coupon for Discount Tire Direct's ebay store, so here are my current options:
205/50R16:
DUNLOP DIREZZA DZ101 (speed v, treadwear 300): $408 - $100 coupon = 308 shipped
BFG G-FORCE SPORT COMP 2 (speed w, treadwear 340): $412 - $100 = 312 shipped
NITTO NEOGEN (speed v, treadwear 280): $414 - $100 = 314 shipped
FALKEN ZIEX ZE-912 (speed v, treadwear 360): $404 - $100 = 404 shipped
I am leaning towards the G-Force Sport Comp 2's, but was wondering if any of you had any thoughts or input?
