first off, what tires should i get for just street performance. i already have some drs for when i finally make it to the strip. i like the eagle f1s. is there anything better out there? just wondering.

also, its time for a new clutch. im definitely getting an aluminum flywheel since ill have the whole thing out anyways. i was wondering which clutch would help. its just boltons with spray on the way. thanks guys.

When you ask about tires for "street performance" .... what are you looking for ?? A good all weather tire is the Goodyear GS-D3 ... search here in the forums and you'll see a lot of good feedback on this tire.

The GY F1 Supercar tires are EXCELLENT tires for dry roads, but leave something to be desired when it is very cold and/or very wet.

So, kinda depends on what you're looking for ... are you more concerned with tires for a daily driver (long lasting tires) or more concerned with performance ?? There is no "right" question ... think about what you need/want from a tire and I bet there will be 50 opinions posted about what the "best" tire is for your needs.
