Title: Best street?strip Tires?
Post by: painterpatt on January 24, 2015, 08:48:48 AM
Now that I'm in Florida and don't care squat about snow, What are good street tires for traction on Street/dragstrip.
Not talking drag radials cause we get a heck of a lot of rain just a stickier tire than these Eagles that are on it now.

I heard nothing but good things about the Hankook V12'S summer performance tires,summer tires are known for better traction as far as performing in hot weather due to the softer rubber,compared to all season with harder rubber where your going to increased slippage on asphalt due to the harder rubber compound,coming from the Eagle f1's and know having the eagle sport all season,i see a big difference in traction favoring the f1's  http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V12+evo2&partnum=545YR0K120XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2013&autoModel=Flex%20Limited&autoModClar=EcoBoost (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V12+evo2&partnum=545YR0K120XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2013&autoModel=Flex%20Limited&autoModClar=EcoBoost)

I recommend and use the Hankook EVO V12 as well.                     Crash712us  uses them as well .
