Best Tires for Stock Car, Fair Weather Driving Options

[Nogoodwithusernames]

Hey guys, I know there's lot's of tire posts on here already and I've not really read through them much.
If there is already a thread covering this please drop a link and it would be appreciated!

Anyways it's new tire time for the 914 but I'm not sure what size or brand of tires would be the best bang for the buck while still giving good grip and decent life.
Car is a stock d-jet 2.0L 1974 with rivieras. Only street driving, no auto-x or drag racing etc etc.

Cheers and happy New Years all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (safe driving habits to drive and then drink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

I too will be in the market for new tires soon, picking up my new-to-me 15x7 wheels today to replace my 16x7 Phonedials (53mm offset so using 1" spacers front and rear that I don't like)

Looking at these 2:

I personnel have hated the Kumho AST every time I have driven on them.

First car I had the on was a Nissan Sentra Spec V, car made enough power to be a handful with these tires, I sold the car before I changed tires. They sucked in the wet, and cold. Wet being any bit of water on the road. Think damp here, and cold think below 50 degrees. You could feel the co-efficent of friction change as you drove over various critical road items, like the painted stripe if you put your wheel on the line at the apex of the corner. Don't get me started on them if you happened to hit a fresh section of asphalt patch and some one spit out the window. They sucked to drive on, so bad. They some how ended up on my old A4 Jetta TDI, which put out a ton of torques. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) When it was damp with these tires I could be rolling up the highway at 65 put my foot down and spin the tires as long as I wanted, in 5th gear. I switched to General Altimax HPs for my none sport oriented daily drivers. My fathers Miate. And the G-Max AS-03s went on the Jetta, and my wife Miata. Love these tires, good wet performance, excellent dry performance, and had been caught in snow with them, and did not stop me at all.

My EG build I have a set of wheels with the Kumho ASTs on it. The plan is to mount them on the car, work out the tuning, then ROAST the LIVING ______ OUT OF THEM DOING DONUTS. I just want to see them go up in a cloud of white, all the way to the cords. The entire Time having the Ghetto Boys- Damn it feels good to be a gangsta play in the back ground on a loop of Dye M_____F___er Dye!

Yes I hate those tires that much.

Hope this review helps you choose Mike, no experience with the Nitto's heard good things. Might try them after I Roast those M____ F___'in ASTs
