[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16338675, member: 188865"] No free lunches and no answer to all prayers in any tire. Generally speaking, more performance = higher cost = less life. If it's grippy, it probably ain't gonna last long and it's gonna be shite in cold weather. If it lasts long and works well in the rain or cold weather it probably ain't gonna do well max performance wise. For non DR radials, the absolute best straight line performance tire is the R888R. The Cups 2's are a little behind (straight line). Both are expensive and both don't last for shit. 4S last much longer, do significantly better in rain and colder temps, but they're a NOTICEABLE droppoff in both straight line and lateral grip. If you modify your car (say max bolt ons) then even a 325 meat in the back is largely useless with MPSS or 4S. They roll over like skates. This is because in a 19" tire, most of them are 30 or 35 profile. There's just not enough sidewall to flex. DR's are much better for straight line, but are terrible and spongy for turns and hit or miss depending on the tire for rain performance. DR's on a 19" tire are kinda wasteful, it's a tweener, it doesn't give you the straight line grip of a 17" or smaller big sidewall tire and it's a marked reduction in turning and lateral grip. Basically it's the worst of both worlds, you can't hook like a drag slick and you can't turn like a track radial. So in the end, it's, do you wanna go fast in a straight line (but still not as fast as if you swapped rear brakes and went to a true DR) or do you wanna go fast in turns with confidence. The faster you push for either means less lifespan and generally higher purchase costs. [/QUOTE]
