I like the IRC Wild Flare and I'm not paying fo0r the name. Most tires any more are the same quality. With high end tires you are paying for the name only. I ran a Tire shop for a while and know this to be true. That being said tires are different compounds depending what you want it to do, that is what you should be looking at.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
