You don't know anything about it, but want to make hard sharp turns and race and stuff...why does that scare me?

Toyo
Pirelli
Goodyear
Yokohama
Nitto
Michelin...the list goes on and on.

I think you need to clarify "and stuff" before anybody can give you a real opinion.

"made for racing and stuff"

1) Why is this in the How To forum?

2) What car are we talking about here?

3) What kind of racing? (If you say street racing...............)

4) Price range? Streetable or racing only?

His post could have been a lot worse: "I was racing against my friends Civic and was just wondering..."

I suggest you do a lot of research if you don't know about this stuff.

You're probably looking for a soft compound tire. For street cars, look for summer only tires as these are designed for dry/wet applications, are usually on the softer side and more grippy. they won't last long under hard driving.

if you're looking to strip or auto-x the car, then you need to do more research as per everyone elses suggestion.

You guys are ALL wrong. What he wants is some 800 treadwear tires so they can withstand hard sharp turns better.

Lol, I don't think they'd even take the turn let alone take it well.
