I'm a Kumho street tire fan. I preferred Hankook RS-(insert newest number here)'s for most of my race cars. I'm running Falkens.... both street and track. I'm so confused.
I just want to be able to buy the same tires twice in a row instead of having to start from scratch every time. Remember how easy it used to be when all you did was just pick up another set of RA-1s?
Hard TW on 2 daily drivers, ATs on the farm truck, winters on the Rallycross car. I'd love to see some reviews of grass, mud and gravel tires on different drivetrain platforms.

I run Continentals for street and winter driving. For my autocross car, I run whatever is available in 245/40R15, which right now is those new Nankang johnnies. I'd love to run a 245/40R15 Nexen N Fera SUR4G, and according to Nexen they have been contacted repeatedly about such an offering, but they have yet to start making them in that size.
On performance cars I generally prefer longer-wearing 200TW/EPS tires like the Hankook RS3/RS4 or Dunlop Z3, I sometimes run DOT-R semi-slicks if I can get cheap used ones. My Toyobaru came with some 300TW summer tires on it and I'll be looking for some longer-wearing 200TWs when those wear out.
I may shift to faster-wearing cheaty 200TWs if street miles continue to be low.
Favorite tires I've driven on, if price is no object, would be Hoosier A7s or Kumho C03s.
RS-4 on the miata. Might go with something grippier when these wear out, I only drive it about once a month
Run NT-01's and love them.
Would like more information on the science behind (and results of said science) heat cycles and their effect on grip/lap times for various low TW rated track day special tires. Everyone comments on how tires are heat cycled out/garbage/run out of tread but haven't seen many articles use data and tread measurements to analyze this to compare them all.
Specifically aimed at HPDE event users (4 20 to 30 min sessions) because lets face it that the pool for that type of client is MUCH bigger than the pool for racers and time trial'ers.
I want treaded tires that can hold up to daily driving but also put in fast autocross times for under $100 per tire. 
I know I know, you can't have it all. Gonna probably end up with something like Spec Miata takeoffs for the challenge car, RT660s for the autocross car, and whatever's cheap for the daily.

We don't have really cold or long winters here and any snow we get is usually pretty quickly melted so I always opt for high performance summer rather than an all weather.
The Solstice coupe sits on Michelin PSS which I really like - but they have discontinued it in my size (245x45-18) so I will have to either change size of tires when it is time to change.
The Z4M coupe has one step down (225x45-18F 255x40-18 R) and am using BFG G-force sport Comp-2 which are quite good an d enough for the use I have for that car, if not quite as sticky as the Michelins. May go to the Michelins next time around. I don't put enough mileage on either car to wear them out before they age out
Im running continental all seasons on the dailies.
Cooper discoverer ht3 on the truck
Federal rs-rr on the miata
Federal super steel on the duster
Dunlop star specs on the neon.
I want to know more about performance all seasons, truck tires, and trailer tires. Those are applicable every day, vs one set of competition rubber every other year
