This is a bit deja Vu for me, going back a few years i think most will recall the thread, it even went towards my inital ban.
But i was someone who ran maxxis toyo falken nexen etc on all my cars up till the 350z this includes a mr2, 200sx s14 and a number of 'momentum car' civics.
and i always thought they handled fantastic and you didn't need eagle f1 or mpss etc. They were over-hyped bollocks,
Now that super tasty humble pie.
i got bullied (persuaded) by Dan aka Ekona to try a set of Pilot Super sports and i did skeptically and i called dan all the names under the sun for the first 100-200 miles as they felt awful, But.... indeed after wearing i have never driven on a tyre with some much grip giving so much feedback giving the confidence to stick it in hard, Which proved it self at japfest rockingham last year were me and another member who both of us i feel are very capable on track enter a corner at the same speed i stayed on the track with my Michelin's and he went off with his Hankooks. And to top it off i did a handful of track sessions and a number of drift days on the front and they just didnt wear out.
Budget tyres are not in the same league as branded high performance tyres. if you think the budget stuff from acellera Event Marshall roadstone whatever are good you really really need to try a good set.
