Whitewalls....I don't know why, but something about them screams "classy"

Default Toyo T1-R
they glide down the hiway, make lotsa grip with predictable break away, and have good turn in...
and the wide whites kill

Default I've run Bstone RE-750, Toyo T1S and now on a set of Michelin PS/2
Can't say that I like any one of them over the others. I think if you pick up a set of high quality high performance tires you are not likely to go wrong.

Default If purely for street use, I tend to agree...
though some of them offer significantly better wet traction. My Toyo T1-S were amazing in the wet. They even held up quite well on the track.

Default I have a set of RA-1 track tires, but have run the T1-S and the RE750s at the track in the wet.
Both of them performed quite well.
