It cannot be easy to choose the right tire. Each tire has a different purpose and tread. These aren’t the only tires you should consider, but they are the top picks of enthusiasts like yours.
These tires offer a lot of value, so you’ll be able to find what you want. Grab your notebooks, and let’s make some notes about some of the best-selling tires this year.
5.) Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
The Michelin Pilot Sport is one of the most loved tire lines. This tire is the result of endurance racing, and it has outperformed most street tires this year. Many enthusiasts love this tire, and it’s not hard to see why.
These tires were made for street enthusiasts who want to get the best performance from their street tires.
The team spent a lot of time on the track dialing in the lineup, collecting data and performing R&D. Michelin was first in dry lap times and first in a dry brake.
The overall setup is quite impressive in summer. The Pilot 4 S is a weekend and daily track tire that offers all you need. You might have to sacrifice some road noise, but that’s not a problem.
The real question is: How are these suckers going to survive in the rain?
Michelin was also first in wet lap times and first in wet brakes. This is not something that many performance tires consider.
The tire is very balanced and has no signs of traction. This tire is ideal for those who want a tire that can be used on track days. Although the set price is high, it is still affordable at $879. These tires are not too expensive for their market price.
4.) Toyo Extensa HP II
Many enthusiasts have snatched the Toyo Extensa HP II because it is a great all-season tire and can be purchased for a very low price. But, how cheap is this? These tires will cost you between $433 and $997. This is a good price considering that you get an aggressive all-season tire that can grip well in the summer and perform very well in the winter.
We now know who purchases these tires and why they are so popular. These tires are most popular with enthusiasts who drive their builds year-round. I can’t blame them as they’re still considered a high-performance tires with a large tread pattern. These tires are hard to resist, especially with all the benefits it offers.
3.) Continental Extreme Contact DWS06
All-season tires seem to be a very common type of tire. We have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06.
DWS stands for dry-wet-snow. This tire is another all-season high-performance tire. This is another great option if you don’t need an aggressive tread pattern.
This tire is perfect for those who want to balance performance and daily driving comfort. It can handle both wet and light snowy conditions without any issues.
These tires will be more expensive, but they start at $822. Not bad for an all-season tire.
Although they are slightly more expensive than the Toyos, you’ll still get a good ride quality and comfort. These tires also have a longer tread life and a more aggressive tread pattern. They still do an excellent job of removing any water and slush from the tires.
The lettering at the tire’s DWS is another excellent feature to look for. As you drive more on the tire, the letters will wear down. The letter “S” will disappear, and it will no longer be suitable for snow.
2.) Toyo R88R
This tire might be familiar to anyone who tracks their car. Although it looks great, these tires also offer a lot more than looks. These tires can be used in a 13- to a 20-inch tire. This semi-slick tire won’t have a particularly aggressive tread design because it is semi-slick. It will not follow the T1R and Proxes tires, with a large V-shaped tread design.
The R88R will have a large contact area with huge strips along the sides. These will aid in water evacuation. This will cause a huge should block to the tire.
The sidewall of this setup will be stiffer, so I wouldn’t recommend trying to stretch the tires. These tires can be used with the correct size wheels.
It’s extremely grippy because it has a soft compound. To make this happen, it will take time to heat the tires. According to records, it takes approximately half a lap for the tires to reach the right temperature to get the best grip on the track.
These tires are not ones I would recommend you put on your daily. However, there have been many who have tried it with great success.
Toyo rates them at a 4.5 dry traction rating and a 4 wet traction rating. They are rated at 50/50, which is pretty solid.
These tires will be slightly more costly, but if you want a cheap tire, then get on the track. These tires will cost you $769 and can go up to $2000 at their highest price.
1.) Michelin Pilot Sport AS4
Everything you’d ever want and ever need in an ultra-high-performance high season tire is here. It was launched last year in 2020 and is still a game-changer. These tires will be on the new C8 Corvette, which produces 495hp. That’s pretty dang cool if you ask me. This is a sign that Chevorlete trusts the tires to deliver the performance this car needs.
This tire replaces and is a winner in the test of the Michelin Pilot AS3+. This tire was based on the original Michelin Pilot AS3+.
4% Additional dry braking
Additional 5% for wet braking
10% Additional Snow Traction
They will retain comfort and low road noise and have an exceptional tread life.
These tires will come with a deep wheel protector. This is an enthusiast’s dream. We can’t prevent accidents from happening so that you have extra protection for your wheels when they do.
The new velvet sidewall by Michelin is simply stunning.
You can see that the tread pattern was asymmetric. This means that each side of the tread pattern is unique.
The DWS06 is visible on the outside of your tire. These blocks will provide you with the best stability and handling when turning.
You will find noise blockers and water evacuation on the three outer blocks. It delivers an all-weather performance.
These tires will cost you $660. This is a great deal considering that you get a premium tire for half the price.
