Best tread design ever?

i really liked the ecsta MX i used to have, were great for the first 500 miles or so, sticky enough that they picked up gravel and debris on the road and you'd hear it in the fenders...

Horses for courses...

I dont have a pic but 'member the Pirelli P7 Cinturato (sp?) found on all if not most supercars of the 80's? Its the azenis of the 80s

You mean these?

This is the best photo I could find online:

It's an I not a T. IIRC it's the Indy Profile, not the Indy Profile SS I posted earlier.

another version:

large tread blocks are suppose to be great for traction ... right ?

one more... then I'll stop post whoring for a while

Currently on my 318ti

Thank you sir. You're right, they were I's... for some reason I kept thinking T.

Sweet, it's like I posted without having to actually post.

Those A0032R's look really nice on the car as well.

Here is a shot of my stack of Hoosier slicks next to an old set of A008's.

I can't believe there is even need for discussion:

Sorry, you're all wrong.

Firestone Non-Skid Tires are obviously the clear winner.

I'm a fan of slicks.
