I am not speaking about all season but summer only

Street Car - Handling
Kumho - Escuta Supra 712
These tires have a awesome wear rating and preform better in the wet than any other Z rated tire I have driven. They don't provide quite as much grip as the Falkin does these will last almost twice as long. Another awesome part about them is they are CHEAP and made in most sizes. These compete side by side with the Eagle F1, Potenza and all other Z rated tires and are comperable in every way... ecept for the price. If you are running a corvette or other car with EMT - these do not support those systems.

Street Car - Drag
Nitto - 555DR
The Nitto has given the drag radial a face lift. This tire has more hookup on the street than any other DR that i have tried. The thing that I like the most though is that it dosen't drive like a drag radial but more like a standard tire. With the BFG DR's you get a huge mushroom feel in the tires as you go around a corner but with the Nitto, it seems to have less flex than a standard H rated tire. In wet weather they actually do good for being a DR.

Track car - handling
Hoosier - R3S03
These tires are DOT approved so you can run them in T class or factory spec class. The provide better wear than the Eagle GS-SC (most comperable compeditor) and arn't subject to getting half as greasy when they are heated up. They tend to stay very consitant and don't have a huge preformnace curve when it comes to them being cold or too hot. Very consistant, well rounded tire. Also these are over 100$ cheaper, per tire than the GSSC.

If your looking for all season - I have no clue, never purchased any LOL
