OPINIONS...WHAT IS THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK?

This should be in the suspension/wheels/tires section.

Check out Toyo T1-s prices here: http://www.ec-securehost.com/OnlineT...Toyo_T1-S.html

 

you know we have a tirerack representative that now sponsors the subforum...maybe you could shoot him a email.

 

yokos hands down

 

The Yoko ES100s SUCK compared to almost every other tire on that list.

Your tire shop is offering you good prices for those tires, but I would pick up a set of Toyo T1-S -- about $800 from the site adamc linked to. Otherwise go with either the S-03s or the PS2s.

 

My first choice would be the S03's, That's what's on my car now. My next set will be the Toyo's as per Rynberg's post. If you have a Costco nearby check there prices on the S03's. They rock. I paid $727.40 tax & all. Size was 245/45/16.

what are u kidding??

and he said the best tire for the price

i kno s03's are the **** but i dont have money to replace tires at 300 a piece

thats why i went with yokos for 160 a piece

 

Rotoboy, who's that in ur sig?

more pics please.

 

No. The ES100 DOES suck compared to most of those tires.

That's why I recommended the Toyo T1-S. Cheapest does not mean the best value.

I guess you shouldn't have bought 18-inch wheels then.....Sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way it is.

 

You meant "thumbs" down right??

 

well its was my choice to get 18's and also my own choice to go with yokos cuz i had them on my bmw and were great

its not like ima autocross my FD or canyon run it everyday , i just want affordable tires with ok performance

i havent had experience with toyos and i bet they are btter but its just about personal choice

my lady

u horny bastard

lol

 

Kumhos MX are a max rated tire that performs right up there with the S03.

 

MX are ok.. I'd rate them at around the same as the old RE730, but not the S03.

 

I had a set of ES100s and they DO suck. Even when warmed up, they're slicker than fresh dogshit.

Lots of people buy them because their tread pattern looks "cool" ( ) and they're cheap. As far as performance goes, they're mediocre at best.
