Hey guys I was wondering what tires you all recommend for summer driving. I have Blizzacks for the winter (best snow tires ever) but they dont handle well at all in high speed turns. Anyways winter is over and im moving to seattle where it rains a lot and I am looking for some high performance summer tires that can take the rain and not slip all over the place. I have 17" rims btw. I was looking at some Kumho's and read some reviews off tirerack and people were saying they were good but wanted your opinions. Any idea's?

 

I have these in the stock sport size and have no complaints. They are cheap but great value for the price. I don't swap winter tires on (in NJ) so I needed something that wasn't just a summer tire. These are M+S and handled surprisingly well in the snow and ice storms we've had over the past few weeks. At 9k miles, they are still performing well and the tread looks new.

fuzion ZRI tries r good also

 

i have the bfg g-Force KDW's amazing handling in the dry and heard they handle equally as well in the rain....have yet to try that out though

 

I had some Yokohama ES100's on my last two vehicles (FWD and RWD). Those tires grab really well, wear pretty slowly and handle excellent in the rain (even under heavy brakeing). I would purposely drive in the rain because they were soo much fun to smash through puddles with. You can make them break loose with weight transfer or the old e-brake ofcourse(in dry or rain), they have a very predictable slide, if I did not plan on using my audi in the snow I would get them again... Ohh, the tires are pretty damn inexpensive too, very hard sidewall...

Since I use my audi in the snow but still love summer driving I got the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S...
