Many people will have many personal preferences. I will hold my hands up and say that im sponsored by Marangoni, but quite seriously the Mythos is the best tyre i have ever driven/raced on. I run 225/40/18 Marangoni Mythos on the front of my R34, S14.5 and will also be running them on the PS13. They rock and most importantly, they hold together very very well and work excelently from cold (important)

I would recommend them heartily.

Polo, Flickstrr, GMasterT and Narcotic have all had a go/drifted on them and they are so very very grippy. Awsome

i always run conti sport 2's as i get them for free and they are very good, very long lasting but a lil shit when cold . i dont run conti's on the back as they are SHIT and delaminate far to easy .... got the marks on my helmet when the entire middle of the tyre seperated itself , flicked up hitting my door and smacked me in the side of the head mid drift .... wee bit scary

I highly recommend Avon ZZ3.

What's wrong with a048s or R888s up front? No good when cold? Too optimised for dry? I've driven with a few good tyres up front but when I fitted some half fricked a048's from Gothspec on the front, even in the wet, they gripped like shit to a blanket, I could barely understeer. It was great! Although savaged my arms even more when bumpsteer attacked

lol.
