your favorite tires

so im about to buy my first set of tires for the evo. still got factory ones on it :'(

anyways, im just wondering what most evo owners use!
previously i have had kumho extca spts, and falken azinez rt615s on my old integra. the spts where pretty sweet, and the falkens where BADASSS for the little time i had them.. (verry soft material)

i like to try new things, so what do you guys have??

I like the Toyo Proxes 4 myself, they have been really good to me and they are fairly reasonable in price

The Yokohama,Kumhos and Toyo's are good..
There's a ton of good ones to choose from.
You'll get 1000 different suggestions.
Go with the best rated you can afford I guess.

I kinda like the Yokohama A048's or the Kumho V700+710's for an Rcomp.
The oem tires[Yok. A046] and the Kumho ecsta and Nitto 555 for normal street driving.

BFGoodrich ftw. BFGoodrich G-Force Sport KD are some sick tires. Nevermind they hold a couple records right no for fastest 1/4 mile time and cornering g-forces.

I second that... currently on my second set of Falken RT-615, next time will go with Dunlop's - Direzza Sport Z1 tires (http://www.dunloptires.com/catalog/direzzaSportZ1.html).

The last SCCA event I went to, everyone was talking about them.

Yokohama discontinued these tires so you cannot buy them anymore....but

I have a few brand new sets of these Yokohama A032R tires in my garage in the 255/40 17's if anyone wants a set. I need the garage space so they need to go!

Only $125 shipped each!!!!!! Get them before they are all sold!
