Hi guys.. I'm currently in the market for new tires..
stock size. 235/45-17
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

 

i just ordered falken ziex from www.edgeracing.com they were a good deal, and i was looking for something to run that will get me through the rain/light snow/light ice. then to get another pair for summer/track/autocross stuff. they had a good treadware, and pretty good price, and good service. good luck

 

get Toyo T1-S's

 

If you dont have to worry about heavy snow get the toyo t1-s. If you want all- season get the Toyo proxes 4 . I live in upstate NY where it snows bad. So far the T1-S is holding up nicely.

 

no snow in Calif.. so I should have np.
thanks guys.. keep it comin'

 

I just ordered the Toyo T1-S from edgeracing.com same day shipping and I cant wait to put them on this week

 

You can't beat the Advans, But I understand they can be a bit pricey.
But my choice is still the advans, Sorry

 

How about a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's? They've got very good marks on Tire Rack, and it seems very good in the rain, especially for the Bay area. Take a look at them and see what you think.

 

Too general of a question What type of tire do you want? What do you want the tire to do for you? Summer performance, do any competition or auto-xing etc etc. Need a bit more detail before we can give a specific recommendation.

 

basically, i'm looking for an everyday use tire..
i don't go to track, so i don't think i need the advans..
thanks guys for the input

 

Cool. How much are you willing to spend on a set?

 

I've tried the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's as well - EXCELLENT tires - especially in the wet!
I think its up there with the Bridgestone s03

Both are expensive - I've since switched to Kumho MX's - just as good, 1/2 the price.
PS: I DRIVE my car.

 

I've been shopping around for tires for a while myself. I'd like something less expensive than the Advans, and hopefully quieter as well. Makes me wish there was a universal rating system that measured the overall characteristics of each tire.

 

Hmm, very interesting Ron. I've been thinking of getting a set of Kumho MX's, but I'm not sure about them vs the GS-D3's. The difference in price is what kinda makes me wonder what the hell. Price isn't the deal with the GS-D3's as I know that they have excellent tire wear. Ron, how long did your set last for?

 

BF Goodrich KDW, or Yoko AVS-ES100 or cheaper Sumitomo HTR-Z
