SRTstan Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 i have 224/45/17 nitto neo gens on my 04 neon srt-4. the front 2 tires are pretty much shot and i'm looking at pick up to tires to replace them. It isnt my dd so it can just be a summer tire. Im looking for something that would do good for autox and hook up good on the street.I have different rims and dr's for when i go to the drag strip. Let me know what tires you think would be best and where is the best place to get them at. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow, that 224 width is a pretty rare tire If you're looking for a good autox tire, I would highly reccommend either the Bridgestone RE11R or Dunlop Direzza Star Spec. Other contenders would be the Kumho XS (if you are working with a tighter budget), Hankook RS-3 or Toyo R1R. If I had to choose one out of that group, it would be the Dunlop.

Guest Spam Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have Hankook EVO K110 on my car all around and they seems pretty good. I have that exact size too (225/45/17) on my GSX and they have a nice tread pattern, work really well in the rain. As for autox and what not, i would prolly go stickier. The tires i mentioned are a good all around tire but not sticky enough i would bet for a WWD. I would go with a Nitto NT-05, NT-01 or Dunlop Star Spec, Pirelli PZero, or finally a Falken RT615. All those tires are going to give you great street and autox manners. The only thing is, they all wear differently. The NT01 i plan on getting for my EVOx rims because of how sticky they are. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/nitto/size/viewProductDetail.do?pc=40300 They are monster grip tires but will not last more than 8-10k miles. So, if you want something a little longer lasting, go with the star spec or RT615. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I just put a set of Nitto Invos on my Impala. I saw them over at Zepplin's place on his car. They have a pretty radical tread pattern, but it's not directional, so you can rotate your tires side to side too. Once he gets his brakes done I'll bet he can give you a better report on them. It'll be a little while till my Impala is out. We're finishing the tune up and then to the body shop for a little paint work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have Sumitomo HTR+ tires on my car just for summer use and I am impressed. Can't say anything about the wear yet because I got them late last year but they are non-directional so I can rotate them from side to side. I would certainly check them out.

They left teh pricing very similar so thats a plus, but the tread compound doesnt seem to have that of the htr+ OLD HTR+ http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/sumitomo/su_htrplus_ci2_l.jpg NEW Htr a/s P01 http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/sumitomo/su_htr_as_p01_ci2_l.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks totally different now, I wonder if it will perform the same, I might have to buy a set of the old style just to have for when mine wear out.
