What 275/35/18 tire to go with
Looking to get a set of 275/35/18 tires for my new rims on the EVO X. This will be driven street only and no track. I live in Orlando, FL so there will be heat and expected rain so I need these to handle good when the hurricanes come. My budget is $180-$200 per tire.
Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the Yoko S. Drives and they do very well for a DD tire, and handle turns very well. Run less than $800 for a set of 4.

I have s-drives and they have been very good to me. I've put almost 20k miles on em so far and they plenty of life.

I don't think any tire can handle hurricanes jk


If you're not going to track, I really liked my Dunlop Direzza DZ101's for DDing when I had them on my car

^^^+1, I have DZ101's on my car right now. Great tire for DD, drastically reduced road noise from the stock advans.

The Dunlop Direzza DZ101 seem to be a popular choice. I've considered them since the Star Specs are at $263 per tire from Tire Rack. It's a bit out of my range. The DZ101's are $169 each
