Time for some new treads....

The all seasons on my Turbo II are showing there age-
I have no idea what tires to get- and have at MAX $300 to spend for a set- $200 -$250 would be even better.
These are the stock Turbo II rims.

Oh- and what polish do you guys recommend for these rims?

They are loosing their shine .

Stay away from the Kumho Supra 712's - I just got a set to tide me over and I hate them for normal driving.. should work ok for rear tires when drifting though, but in the front they suck

i'd reccomend looking at the yokohama avs es-100 series tire, i have them on my F-body and their great for straight line adn also very very good for cornering goos stiff sidewall and sticky rubber also very good in the rain. they may be a little more expensive but i'd spend an extra 100$ for the added performance. i mean $25 a tire for better performance thats cheap insurance.

See I wish I had an extra $100 right now-

But it looks like some lew swhuab tires will have to do-

Unless anyone has some more recommendations?

Now im looking at these....

Whats others opinions on the Kuhmo Supra 712's

I see they are best sellers, recommended across the board.

How are they for handleing in wet weather? How about road noise?

They are right in my price range-
I "might" be able to get an extra $100 for som Yokohama's, but I dunno yet.
