Default Re: Tire Recommendation

They have a treadwear rating of 220, so I don't see how that qualifies as hard for a street tire. IMO any street tire is going to suck at the drag strip. If you want something much softer than that you'll have to go to a DOT R-compound which will not last very long (treadwear 60). I don't know of anything in between. If you just want Z-rated street tires the Michelin Pilot Sport is a bit grippier than the Eagle F1 but you'll pay $300+ per tire.
