Default TiReS!

hey guys, ima kinda in a rush here due to the situation of my tires but was hoping i can get some good quick responses.

I am thinkin about gettin either the re750's, kumho ecsta mx's, or Pir. zero nero m+s is i believe the stupid retarded name loll. which of the 3 do you guys rec. or have anythign else in mind? btw, how do these 3 compare to es100's? i had those tires before and hoenstly, didn't like them much, thread wear sucked, wet weather was awesoem but dry was "ehh." i want something better hten that but a lil lower then the s02's as i dotn want to spend big bucks on tires right now untill i get my new rims in the near future. any suggestions? thanks a lot!

PS. is 205.55.16 F and 245.45.16 R good? as they said, the rears shoudl be 245 and not 225 unless they are the s02's. I dont want any fitment issues, rubbing issues, looking retarded or sticking out issues.

i really like the threads on it. this tire looks similar to the es's rating wise. the 750 out does both but they say the Mx's are better..i wonder why. Why doesn't this site move quickly! loll no one is posting.

I would say try out the Falken fk 451's...

I got them in 16 from disc tire direct with free shipping and they got to me in 2 days. They are holding up great and handle the same as the AVS ES 100s, IMO.

You should run 225/245, it fits with no problem unless they're S02's, as stated. The thing I've noticed with Kumho Ecsta's is that it worsens the snap oversteer. Look into some G-Force KDW2's if you want decent wet traction also.

Are the new Azenis made in those sizes? Those hankook Rs-2 or whatever they're called, the ones posted above, are supposed to be pretty dang awesome too

What will you be using these tires for? DD? Track? Mix?

For daily driving, I liked the RE750's. Good treadwear, pretty stiff sidewalls, good traction both dry/wet. I've heard good things about MX's, also. But why not go with the S02's or S03's?

I got these same tires...i went with 205/245 to match the stock sizing...you can't beat under 400 shipped (well not sure if they still do free shipping). So far they are holding up great...not as well as the s02's but not many tires do. basically its good enough for a street tire that you can still mess around with and not be scared.

for right now i watn tires that are just a tad less then the s02's. I dotn want to spend a lot of money because i am goign to be gettin new rims in teh near future and woudl rather spend it on that setup. i watn the best bang for the buck right now. i drive very spirited btw and im expectin some rain here in S. Cal so im also keeping that in mind as my s02's that were worn out caused me to do a 900 on the freeway (2 360's and one 180). but my MAIN concern as well, i dotn want tires that are like the es100's, i want something better then those.

The KDWS is for all-season/snow traction. The KDW 2 is the 2nd gen wet tires. It's on tirerack.

They're cheap and they're fun to slide on. Yes, I save my good tires for the AP2.
