What tire would you reccomend?

 

I've had 3 out of the 4...FK 451's no question for me....Not my favorite street tire though...

 

kumhos are a loud tire and after working at a tire and wheel shop, i would not recommend them. I voted for the yokohamas because the Falkens seem soft and wear a little more IMHO. i had falkens in the back and they wore pretty fast considering i did a sweet alignment job before i put them on. Ive had nothing but good responses and reviews with the es100s and always recommend them as a candidate

 

i have driven on the ES100s and the Kumhos, ES100s are a nice progressive tire from cold-warm, responsive when sliding as well. the Falken 451s arent really a max performance tire, theyre more focused on good looks and All weather traction, try the St-115. And the kumho 711s arent even in the same category. they are for poor suckers who cant afford Zrated tires. the 712s feel funky when driven hard.

 

ho about the Nitto 555RII, I rode passenger in a befgore and after test with the Nitto's in a turbo S15 and it made a difference, a BIG difference.

 

how much are the Nitto 555RII? in a 245/45/r16

 

Can't vote - A032R's arent up there....

 

those tires suck. well there not bad but there not great. go to goodyear and ask for the f1 d3's. they seem to be good all around. its like a 9.7 dry and a 9.8 wet rateing something like that.i forget

 

ok just to clrrifie those are my most likely choices above i need to stay near 100 a tire

 

I vote for BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials. these things stick like **** to carpet, and i have found them better than nittos.

 

drag radail wear way to fast for me, i don't have enough power too need them and i get rain and snow and drag radails would leave me carless in bad weather

 

I bought the yoko ES100's. I hated them. Sent them back and got the Bridgestone 750's. That was a huge improvement, for a little more money. I don't know what size you are getting, so I don't know if the Bridgestones are in your price range.

 

i'm getting 245/45r16 for the rear and 225/50r16 up front

 

I bought 245/45/16's for all 4 corners. They were $123 each at the tire rack.

A huge improvement over the ES100.

 

what about toyo proxes??

 

I'd like to know if anyone has experiance with the FK-451, as I'm thinking of getting some of those really soon.

 

i was always under the impression that the bfgoodrich gforce t/a, whatever teh street version is, is the better tire out there for dry traction. supposed to be very sticky for how long they last.

 

aren't they expensive tho, sorry to sound cheap but my tax return has to pay for these tires and some other things that leaves me with about 400 for tires

 

I voted for the FK-451's. I have them in 225/45/17 on mustang GT wheels and they're great! I was at the track with them this weekend and with only a cone filter, cold airbox, headlight air scoop, full RB exhaust (from manifold back) and wheels/tires as mods, I was able to chase down and pass (among other things) a BMW 330 Ci, a heavily modded BMW 2002, a Porsche 944, and a Lotus Esprit S4! All the drivers were in the same skill class as me. Enough said.

 

Kumho Ecsta Supra's are good
