Okay, so the time has arrived, and I'm going to swap out my winter rims with my summer rims. The only problem being, the summer rims don't have tires on them. What do you guys have? They're Prodrive P1's 17x7. I think that's a 215/45 R 17, but correct me if I'm wrong. Ideas?...

I belive you would be correct but i'm not completely sure. Because of this i have moved this into the tires and wheels section where Dexter can answer all of those q's

Cool. I'm probably going to go with all-seasons, but perhaps something geared alittle more towards summer.

if you have a separate set of winter wheels/tires, then no need for all seasons

get a good set of summer tires. whats your budget? if you have the money get some s-03s

Expensive but the best: Bridgestone Potenza S-03
A little more economical, but excellent all-weather performance and durable treadwear: Bridgestone Potenza RE750
More economical, excellent all weather performance: Falken FK451
More economical, excellent dry-weather performance to rival the S-03: Falken Azenis ST115 (be careful with these: any sort of wet pavenment will send them sailing)
Fairly economical, very good overall performance and durability: Yokohmama AVS ES100

The bridgestone's would be the best IMO. That is if you are willing to fork over that kind of dough.

Luke@tirerack

the top three choices would be

S-03 Pole Position
Eagle F1 GS-D3
Pilot Sport PS2

anothe good choice would be the RE750

Luke@tirerack

not really impressed by that tire .... good steering response but not much lateral grip or ride quality

KDamericano

What about the ES100? What do you think of those?

Any thoughts on Kumho Ecsta MX? Did not see them on any ones top three but I always thought they were good due to the price to performance ratio.

ES100: Excellent street tires, but they fall a bit short on all categories of performance on the track and at Auto-X. Good value overall, and stylish (if it matters)
Kumho MX: Very inconsistent construction quality. Some sets are excellent, others are fairly shoddy. Buyer beware!
