What are the most stickiest beyond stickiest tires out there??

yes what are the most stickiest R compound or regular compound tires out there that are or arent DOT rated? i dont care about tread wear i just want the tackiest and stickiest tires out there. Nitto 555R2's? Yokohama A048? Pirelli PZero Corsa? Toyo RA-1? Yokohama A032R? Michelin Pilot Spot Cup? Kumho Victoracer V700???? yes this is for the street, no its not for a subaru its for a mustang, yes i know they wont last long but i put 10k miles on the car in 3 years. i want the best tires out there, i only drive this car "spiritly" no rain. So what are the best tires? i was thinking the Nitto 555R2. or like the Perelli Cora or Yokohama AO48's...

PS. Please dont move this thread the tires section is dead and baic is always packed.

Sorry to hijack, but the thread's title totally reminded of Dave Chapelle as Rick James saying "Only the stickiest of the icky"

Carry on good gentlemen!

For dry-weather street use under those conditions, I'd get the Kumho VictoRacer V700s. Heck, they even work "ok" in the wet for a while as long as you have some tread on them.

All the others you listed won't be as sticky and (mostly) cost more. And at least in the case of the A032Rs, they are noisier than hell (like Falken Azeni tire noise x10!).

Those are my "street" tires on my Impala SS right now

well im sorry... i dont care if they are DOT or not, im using them on the street. so they probably have to have some kind of tread. i just want some of the best tires. what else do you want me to say? Im a n00b when it comes to tires.

Forget the rest of the crap I posted-

If you are driving on the street you really should have DOT approved tires, one less thing for the man to bust you on.

That said- I'd expect pretty similar performance form the models you listed, which ones can you afford?

Yeah the Khumo 710 meets the bill, sure wouldn't want to get caught out on a day like today though.....

if you want a very nice dot legal competition tire that could be used day to day on the streets take a look at the Khumo V700s, some of the 'stickiest of the icky'

they really do blow away the Azenis and are VERY affordable compared to anything else close to its performance

Heres mine in 245/40/17 mounted on some torques next to some 225/40s
