Im looking for tires for my car, and figured Id ask you guys I drive my car pretty hard, canyon driving, taking turns fast etc. no autocrossing... yet and I was looking for something that is going to last a decent amount of time, yet still have nice traction, better than the stock Turanzas. I know sticky + treadlife don't exactly go together, but yeah. Was looking on tirerack for falkens, and didnt find any that fit the stock rims, 215/45/17s , any input is greatly appreciated

 

Toyo Proxes4 is what i'd recommend. EXCELLENT tires..

 

Nitto Neogens are also a great choice. Plenty of grip.

 

just to give you another option (or two!), falken azeni's and michelin pilot sports!

 

Toyo Proxes4

 

A few more good choices in 215/45/17 would be;

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 - $87
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport - $92
Kumho Ecsta MX - $104

All prices from TireRack.com

 

i bought a new sets of Nitto NeoGen and im loving it.. i've already drove about 5000 miles on those tires but still damn good even after drifting around.. im a aggresive driver too.. taking turns fast.. its got plenty of grips.. its also really good on snow too..

Thanks everyone, kinda leaning toward the toyo proxes4, falken azenis or the nittos. the falkens are the cheapest, but iono how long theyre going to last me if i went through the stock turanzas in 7k miles

 

Anyone have any experience with the Hankook Radial K106 or the Hankook Ventus HRII H405. Those nittos are looking kinda nice for $80

 

The only advice that I have is to stay away from Goodyear, the last 3 sets that I have had gave me horrible viberations at highway speed and mild viberations between 20-40 mph. I switched over to Toyo and they have been great.
