-- Tire Poll -- Daily Driver with Good Wet Traction and reasonable treadwear
Ok, So I've read all the threads and still need help deciding which tires I should get.
My situation and what's Important to me?
2005 LSS Elise. (Thanks Uncle Sam)
I am a daily driver in Seattle.
I drive 100 miles RT to work. I commute 3-7 days a week. I can hear you cringe
I end up driving in the rain a lot, so rain performance is important.
I've never tracked the car but I do enjoy spirited driving.
I'd like to maintain the go-kart feel of the car, (stiff sidewalls?).
I'd like to be reasonable and balance grip, price, and treadwear. Am I unreasonable to look for a tire that lasts 15k miles or more? With a minor sacrifice in grip?
Azenis 615RT
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11R
Bridgestone Exalto PE2
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Toyo R1R
Toyo R888 (Screw Treadwear, you gotta have maximum traction)
