Do you want a race tire, or do you want a good street tire?

Hi Todd , i must say i like the look of a more race oriantated tire with a sparse tread pattern. I dont think ive seen one on a rim yet, im hoping some-one has a pic or two

I like the Bridgestone RE-11. The down side, limited size. I did a drive and learn on these a couple weeks ago and they handled amazing through the corners!

They are a STICKY tire.... lots of rocks thrown at the side of the car...

Gav, I think the tread wear is minimal . The tire ubsorbs lots of heat and keeps it inside. grip i think is ecselend. will take a picture tomorrow..

NT05 might suit your needs.
