Tires
 
I know this question has been asked a million times...

I am not able to get on to the "OTHER" site.

What type tires do you recommend for daily driver, track, drag and rain.

best bang for your buck please!

where can i get them.

Should i stick with 16's or should i get 17's? if i stay with 16's i plan to put them on stock rims. if 17's still shopping! :(

Bridgestone 730's if not BFG KDW, Falken Azenis, all for about 100 in 16 in sizes.

Take my word for it this is not a good rain tire, if you drive on the highway alot.

Almost forgot, Yokohama intermediates are cheap too!

Thanks,

I think I'll be looking in to the BFG KDW's. Where locally can i get them? or is that not possible?

Where do they have these at a reasonable price (internet or locally doesn't matter)?

Locally, Costco is hard to beat, they offer comparative prices to tire rack, and carry Michelin and BFG tires. If they don't have them in stock, you can order them.

If not, tirerack has some good deals.

Get them from [url]www.tirerack.com[/url] thier shipping is next to nothing, you will save in the long run.

The Falkin's and BfG's KD's have been the tires to beat at the mainland auto-x's for classes that require a true street tire. But it all depends on what you really want out of your tires. And how much you are willing to spend on a set.

Bang for the buck and a good all around tire...

Kumho 712
Sumitomo HTRZII

bang for the buck...i've got and like kumho supra ecsta 712's

Raudi Nov 26, 2002 12:54 PM

bang for the buck i would get the new Kumho MX, supposed to be designed to compete with the KD's, but with better wet traction.

Shin RS Nov 26, 2002 11:01 PM

IMO kumho's are overrated, They're cheap and not bad tires, but compared to the other tires I've run on they're not that great...

Don't mean to step on any toes...

Oh yeah, I'm talking about the 712's, not the MX's which I haven't used or the R-compound tires which they make (which are really fun)

yuzo Nov 27, 2002 01:06 AM

bang for the buck they're better then nitto's (IMO), stocks (IMO), and other cheap brands (IMO). yes they are not the best pair out there and pretty decent

Nolimit Nov 27, 2002 01:29 AM

whoa, I just looked at the Kumho MX's, .... they look sweet! :D
