lol stock tires are perfomance tires. dont think you can get much better on there for the street.

no reason at all to replace them for street use.

Stock tires are Junk.

Sell them to me for 300 shipped then you can get some preformance parts.

stock advans are great tires, to get better tires you really have to spend dough...

All I have to say is there is a reason OEM replacement tires are $250 each at the Tire Rack...

Perhaps you should learn more about the Evo before you commit to buying one. This is not a car you need to "throw parts at" to make better. Id say the cars stock potential is much higher than most of the owners on this site...

There is a reason I have put nothing but Advans on both my Evo's. I think there is nothing better than them even if you go with an R-compound yes you will get a little better grip but not much and will not get the mileage you would with the Advans.
As others have stated by others if you dont want them we will gladly take them off your hands. This should tell you something

the evos stock tires are excellent for summer use.

however in winter they turn to poop, as most summer tires dont like cold weather

The stock tires are some of the best street tires money can buy.

If your waiting until March I hope you don't mind buying a used Evo, because production on the IX is over and they are going fast. The X won't be out for about a year or so.
