I am looking for new tires for my Leggera's. 235/40-18s. Wanted suggestions which would be best tires for around 550$ set. (Kumho SPT @ 105$ on tirerack). Any recommendation on any particular store or site? Amol
Check out discount tire direct I would go with Falken azenis, I have them they are great and we'll priced tires. :coolugh:
http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-local/tiresearch.cgi http://www.edgeracing.com/tires/2254517/ These guys seem to be pretty competitive price wise. I like my Khumo ASX's. I have liked all the Khumo tires I have ever had. That being said, Falken makes some decent tires now a day as well, neither company will break the bank for the amount of tire you get... Edited for another link to a decent place to buy tires, price wise...
do you want summer or all season??? If it's summer tires, Go with Falken FK451 : AWESOME wet traction + GOOD dry traction + 15~18k miles <<-- My choice Falken RT615 : AWESOME dry traction + decent wet traction + 12~15k miles If you want all season, go with Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S: GOOD at everything You can't go wrong with any of those three. Also I ended up buying my tires at Discount tires. Yes it is more expensive (i paid about $60~70 more) compare to buy from online store, but I get free rotation/balance and road-hazard warranty.
Check out Tirerack.com. They have really good reviews. Pay attention to Road Noise. That is the most annoying thing about some of these tires. Nothinh worse than a set of tires that are louder than your exhaust when driving on the Highway.
Fusion makes pretty much every size I think. Plus they aren't terribly expensive if I remember right. They grip like a mofo but they are really noisy. :coolugh: Just a few random facts...
That why I like falken Azenis NO ROAD NOISE! They have what is called quite ride technology on those tires plus they grip great and look real aggressive, I have them and am very happy with them tread wear is like 300.Can get them for around $97-$105 a piece at Discount tire direct.
V710s! I have nothing but bad experiences with discount tire, keep in my mind you always get what your pay for. Personally I rather pay an extra $30 to $60 and go to Gran Turismo and have piece of mind. Last time I was at GT there was a white 350z there that had a stripped stud thanks to discount tire.
For me personally I LOVE the tires that came on my STi. (Potenzas) I've herad from a few other people that there are better tires than these for the money. Does anyone know of any that are comperable to my stock tires or better that have a nice agressive treadwear as well?
I'm on Toyo Proxes 4. Definitely a good all-season tire for the money. I've also heard good things about Yokohama AVS, a summer tire that won't break the bank.
When my RE-070s are done, I'm going to mount some Fuzions I got as a gift to serve as my daily drivers. For as cheap as they are, I don't expect a lot, but I'll let you know. They got pretty decent ratings from Tirerack, but not a lot of people are using them. For auto-x, I'm looking to basically copy Mere and get some slipstreams with some 710s.
i recently bought kumo spt from discount tire and i paid $396 for a set of 225/45/17. That was in mounted though, i had a buddy of mine mount them for me. Discount tire will price match any price as long as you bring them paper to back it up..
I like the khumo asx also, some Kauffman tires will work with you on the price if you mention tirerack's price. they last longer than the Pirelli's pzero m&s and are only slightly outperformed by them. check tirerack's all season tire tests.
