So I'm still shopping for tires... But I'm getting more and more torn.

I was pretty much set on the PZero Neros... but I've been looking more towards performance tires for AutoX and fun.

So here's what I've been considering:

> BFG g-Force TA KDW II (NT)
--- Excellent reviews and very fair price.

> Nitto NeoGen
--- Found ONE review (???) but great price.

> Toyo Proxies (which one?)
--- Again, no reviews - price depends on T1-R or 4. I don't know which one to get.

So what do you think? I will be wanting good traction - mostly from a summer tire, but would consider an all season if the performance is good enough. But I'd like to keep it under $550 shipped for all 4.

 

id go with either the
BFG's
or
Yokohama ADVANS (pricey but very good for competition)

 

Well... I guess I just wanted some sort of confirmation. That's what I've been leaning to. But was just looking at the others anyways. Just hadn't found much info on them so was avoiding them.

Anyways...

I would have ordered from tires.com but they don't have the 215's... just 225. Would have been a tiny bit cheaper I think, but oh well.

 

$538 total is not bad, i have hook up with NTB and i only can get them for a little under $500, so not bad deal at all.
but im leaning towards the ADVANs, since i have another set of rims to put the tires on, gonna get them shaved a lil too.

 

Sexy:

 

they are...my buddy put them on his is300, they are amazing

these are just as sexy:

 

How about:



Hankook Ventus RS-2 are Advan Neova copies and matched their performance in the Car and Driver/Tirerack test. Only $116 for 225/45/17

all the same, im just not hankook fan

 

Ok, but based on what..I am not too excited about Hankook either, but the numbers dont lie and Ive heard nothing but good things about them.

My ideal tire would be the Falken Azenis RT-615, but they arent redily available in 235/40/17 which Im looking to run:



They are going for $120 per tire in 225/45/17: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...02&rd=17&ar=45

 

based on the fact that my friends run them on their turbo'd integras/hatches
and had nothing but bad things to say for drag/auto-x useage
ill take wut they say becuz they run 11's all day, so if its not working for them
it won't be working for me (granted im not running 11's)

 

Ill go with that, but I have a hard time believing any tire will work well on an 11 sec FWD car...also we they using the Ventus RS-2 or was it an older model?

 

not sure wut model, but the tread pattern was similar to the pic
he is currently runnin the ADVAN's, and has no issue as far as i kno

 

Agreed, unless its a drag radial..

 

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Look 'em up. Amazing tires.
4 225/40/18's came to right under 800.
17's must be cheaper.
Oh, wait, $146 each at Tirerack.com

 

These are my final two:

Ya, the Goodyear looked nice too, but they're a tiny bit above my price range. I'm sure they're an awesome tire though.

 

eagle f1 all the way. Look at the reviews.

 

I have 2 F1-GSD3's on my tC....they're amazing

 

^^ ... 2?

 

haha yeah broke college student..blew out a stocker but could only afford 2 new (gs-d3) tires
ahh delerious about to go have an exam..haven't slept yet!
