personally, i like the kumhos, dunlops and michelins, I had a set of bridgestones and they hydroplaned and the compound seemed to be very slippery and caused the car to slide, Pirellis always seem to have a soft compound that grips well but wears out very fast. I like michellins but they are quite e...

As far sa I am concerned, I am just doing some light tun...
