Which Tires Have Better Dry Handling....vs
I'd like to know everyone's opinions as to which street tires (maybe list 3 to 5 in order of better to worse performance) have better dry handling capabilities than the Eagle GS-D3's. If size of tire is important then assume 215/40 or 45/17's. Otherwise, just want to hear general opinions about brands and models.
Thanks

I've got the Goodyear Eagle F1's on my baby - they are super awesome for wet or dry (I'm talking rails regardless). However, I made the "mistake" of using them during winter in Chicago - not smart...made it out alive, but they're basically asking for an accident in snow.
My friend just got all season F1's for his WRX...he loves them in the wet and dry. If they're awesome during the snow too, chances are that's what I'll change to...if not, blizzaks and summer F1's all the way!!

If you're actually serious, why do you say that???
If you serious about dry grip, not noise or durability or ride comfort, then look at what the national level autocrossers are using in STS/STX/STU/STS2 since the rules for those classes require real street tires (defined by treadwear of at least 140) and dry grip is all they (we) care about. No Goodyears, but lots of Azenis. The Bridgestone RE-01R is also looking very good on initial tests. Some folks are using the Hankooks or Khumo MX, but they are generally shaved to work well. Yok Neova is also up there for larger diameter wheels.

I've run a set of Falken RT-615s for 15k miles, paid around 500.00 for the 4 mounted, balanced, etc. Have a track day and a few long drives on them... couldnt be happier... great performance tire, great price, and decent wear considering the hard miles.
I'll be getting a new set as soon as they arrive at my local tire shop.

No, that's just about how many street miles I put on my set. I primarily autocrossed on them. They should last longer on the street, but will never be high-mileage tires. They are too soft for that.
