I have hated my tires since I got my car. They are all mixmatched generics. One of them is almost bald, and the other 2 are fairly worn.

Anyways, whats a really good summer tire? I dont need anything for snow, I dont particularly care about rain, but thats a plus. Wear is fairly important as tires are expensive.

So basically whats the most grippy tire that will actually last a respectable amount.

I'm looking at the Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Positions. At $135 apiece, I am looking for something a bit cheaper. $135 apiece is doable, but the cheaper the better. I want really good grip and pretty good wear. I know the S03s are some of the best tires available.

Any reccomendations other than the S03s? Something around 100 a tire or so would sound a lot better than 135 a tire


thanks

here. This seems pretty good to me. about $315 shipped for the 712's. I'll be trying these next

 

falken azenis. i think 80 bucks each great x cross tire

 

I have the Falken Ziex tires on my car. Great tire, $70 at sears, but do go on sale from time to time. The tire looks like it belongs on a sports car with the tread design being unidirection. I like them a lot and they seem to be a decent tire.

I'm using dunlop SP9000 not realy good, I pay $125 each for my TII rim 205-55-16

 

nah, they all suck!

Either Yokohama Parada spec2 or Advans. Advans are insane max performance tires, w/ probably negligible wet weather handling and NO winter weather handling. the paradas arent as extreme as the Advans. but both lay down huge foot prints.

Paradas also have a long wearing rubber compount like the first generation did, but these are stickier than the last generation.

They also look bad ***...especially w/ a touch of negative camber.

 

Pirelli P-Zero

 

Kumho Ecsta 711 $55 a piece good tires last long and HR Rated, best buy in my book!!

I'm calling my body shop now (friends with them so they give me good prices)...

anything else to reccomend? I asked him to look up the S03 pole positions, Pirelli p-zero rosso, kumho supra 712. Hopefully I can find something for a good price!


Please reccomend something as theres a lot of tires out there, especially high performance ones

 

kumho 712's are good for cars with less than 300hp..... i loved them on my TII. i have them on my FD and HATE THEM

 

falken azenis all the way

 

Anyone tried BF Goodrich Scorcher T/A's or Pirelli P7000's?

 

azeni's all the way. Go look at the scca records and you'll notice quite a trend for the top finishers of the street tire class.

 

I'm using Nitto 450 Extremes. They have a really aggressive tread pattern for the rain and loads of spare grip for freeway ramps.

 

I will ask about the Falken Azenis

Tirerack doesnt have them,...?

 

just ordered mine today from www.tires.com free shipping woo!woo! $105 each 360 tread wear



-Shawn (**** Kumho Ecsta 711, once they start to wear more that 50% kiss them good bye, cought a blow out today on them)

 

Which Azenis guys? there's different ones.

 

?? Please help me here.

Im narrowing down my search for some excellent summer tires

 

The Advans are what you want

 

Yokohama AVS ES100 or Azenis for me.
