This tire vs. this tire...

One thing I know is tires.Michelin Certified Tire Tech/Manager here.


I have NEVER heard of Direzza,you say they are made by dunlop?

The Yoko is a great tire.Great Dry traction performance,and good treadware for what kind of tire they are.Wet performance will not be the best,but you drive a RWD muscle car,so I take it you know to go easy in the rain?


As far as:dgc333 Unless you are doing a bunch of suspension upgrades you won't ever be able to get the potential out of those tires on the twisties and they won't work well on the strip either.

This is so wrong I dont even know where to begin.

You will never see the full potential of your 360 in your 3,000 lbs. Mopar,so unless you are going to build an aluminum full frame chassis for it,its a waste of time.

Does that bring it into perspective for you? Just because you dont drive a Porsche,does not mean you will not benifit from a better tire,NO MATTER WHAT! In fact if all of our old Mopars had light weight aluminum wheels,with low pro performance tires on them,they would be faster,stop quicker,steer better,and save some fuel economy.I am not trying to be an ***,just trying to get you to see why what you said was wrong.

As far as bad for the drag strip,true.But, that is why they make slicks/drag radials. Dont know about anyone else on here, but usually I run the best street tires I can,drive to the track and bolt on slicks/competition tires(autox,road race)race and when I am done bolt my street tires back on and drive home.I would NEVER pick a street tire because it was not drag friendly.A good drag tire is the complete opposite of what you want on the street.
