Default Your Ultimate Tire?

If money was not an issue, what tires would you buy??

I'll start....
Street: Michelin PS2
DR: BFG Drag Radial


I really want to see how well Toyo T1R's respond.

by far the best tires are the toyo proxes tr1:clap: They blow every other tire away and i have tried them all since my friend owns a tire center. I have them on 20" foose nitrous wheels with hr lowering springs all around . Launches hard handles like rails.

I havent had any first hand experience, but supposedly the Toyo Tr-1 and KDW2s are good in water. In reality your "summer" tire isnt going to have that great of wet traction, you'll get better wet traction with an all season tire for the most part (not always)

And 6K miles later you'll be needing new ones, lol.
Jim Gray at Quick Rev in Kettering, gets about 2K out of his BFG DR's on his 99 c5
