what are some good quality high performance tires?
i had nitto tires but they sucked in wet weather, i saw the price of performance khumo tires and it was pretty low ,are they worth it?

they arn't bad tires, my friend had them on his 87 iroc, he liked them fit the car well. changed from g-forces. g-forces where too much money and his suspenion wasn't ready for them .. i have some t/a radials and they are my biggest problem now. but i used to pull .91g's with them hopping for a 1.00xg's with some g forces.
I loved my Goodyear GSC's ($159). Don't get Kumho 711's ($56). That's what I put on this time around to save money, and I regret it. Next time I'm going with Good year Eagle F1's ($142) or Firestone SZ50's ($137).

i have kumho 711 there not that bad. i have 3.73 posi rear and they plant the power to the ground pretty good the only thing i don't like about them is the thin sidewall so if your going to do some autocross don't go with these. my 2 cents.

I can't get traction for **** on holeshot, and they will NOT plant any 1-2 shift if it's half throttle or more....and that's with LCA's, and LCA Relocation Brackets.
When I'm pulling any corner, my worry isn't suspension, it's these tires sliding through, especially on the front. I would run them on my v6, but I will never run them again on my Z.
