    Hey guys! I'm looking at getting new tires for my 08 GXP and I wanted some opinions on good sport/performance tires. What are my best options?

    I have hanook that I recently (1500 miles ago) bought and absolutely love em. They handle good not much road noise and look great.

    I'd opt for something other than potenza tires as they have like a 140 tread rating for the stock size, which is like a less than 20,000 mile tire. Though they have other options, I don't care for them and they are the most money from what I see.

    Hankooks are alright, I like the ventus s1 noble 2's, on tire rack they have a $80 rebate right now.

    I've heard the newer kumho platimun tires are decent aswell.

    Both are non directional I believe which means you can actually rotate side to side and improve tread life.

    Maybe Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3's. Haven't driven on mine much yet but reading reviews they seem to be a good tire.

    If you want something on the cheaper side, I've been running these Achilles ATR Sport's since April. Good wet and dry traction and seem to be wearing well. I will not be using them for winter. I've got winter wheels and tires.

    I bought mine on ebay for $118 each.

    Well id have to still recommend these hanook v12's I have. I've done lots of driving with them and when u get on the throttle they grip the pavement very well
