actually u COULD if u wanted to get z rated 205/40 r17 special order at pepboys from the wharehouse. they're made by ventus (hankook) and they're only 69 bucks each. i think thats a good deal for a z rated tire. to be honest they're not that bad for the price. oh god now i just sound like im trying to pitch a sale! lol..... i gotta get outa that dingy place, its been way long enough for me. yea uh it what was i saying oh yea it was convenient for me also

For 300.88 you can get the kumho 711's. BUT you're going to need a snow tire once winter comes along. Also, with the 711's, the tread life is pretty miserable but i guess that's why their so cheap.

I figure I don't like to stick with the same tire or rim for long anyway, so it might be best for me to use the 711s, I hear the grip is pretty good but they wear out fast. I still have a few months to decide, though, and I know the 712s aren't all that much more expensive.
As for me personally, I won't be needing snow tires any time soon. Hell will freeze over before Los Angeles does

712's: Z rated, 280 tread life; $121* at www.discounttire.com
711's: H rated, 340 tread life; $95* at www.discounttire.com
There's also a difference in tread design, but that's about it, that I know of.
*205/40/17's, cheaper if smaller, more if larger.

the cheapest places ive found that sells the 711's and 712's arewww.tirerack.com or www.whalentire.com
just the tires-tirerack
rim/tire package-whalentire
With all of the reviews ive read on both the 711's and 712's, tread life seems to be the same but the grip on the 712's is better. more porche/bmw's/corvette's seem to be using the 712's and more compact cars are equipped with the 711's. I'm still wondering if i should spend the extra 100.00 and upgrade to the ASX....
