Hello all,

I purchased some nice bronze Rota Grids in 16"
im looking for some decently priced, yet, good quality tires. 205/45/16

I am loving the Nitto Neo Gens, but I dunno if I want to or can afford $360.00 shipped for them. Unless you know of a place that is cheaper for them???

So here is what I found for fairly priced and name brand:

Kuhmo Ecsta SPT
$64.00 each 256.00 for 4= 287.00 shipped
BF goodrich g force sport 70.00 each=311.54 shipped

Yokahama 66.00 each 295.54 ship

Falken Ziex= $299.89 shipped
Or I could go with some Bobo ebay tires
Fulda Extremo 125.00 shipped for 2 250.00 shipped for 4

The way I look at it is, I may as well go ahead and spend the extra 60.00 for the good name brand Bf goodrich g force sports, or even the Kuhmo ecsta spts @ 37.00 more for good name brand Kuhmo ecsta SPT

Plus I have to gett he mounted and balanced........

Or I have a deal locally that will mount balance some Ultra HPr's for 174.00 for 2 wich is 348.00 OUT THE DOOR, but for ULTRA HPR's

What would you do?

is Falken beter than Kuhmo? is bf goodrich better then both?
im thinking I like the Kuhmo SPT's good performance tires, good for cornering (even though All I do is drive straight)

These wheels/tires are for everyday driving.

go with the kumho spt....the bfg sport is a worthless pile...the spt and the avs es 100 from yokohama are very comparable to each other...but the kumho's get a 40 mail in rebate

 

haha, 40 mail in rebate?

 

The kumho are better then any of the tires you mentioned! Second would be the es100!

 

Go with the SPT's. I have them on my car as a daily driver and absolutely love them. Great all around tire for the money. Yes if you order before Christmas fill out a form and mail it off to Kumho and recieve a $40.00 mail in rebate.

 

kuhmo spt's it is, thanx guys for helping me decide, I had some kuhmo's on my 17's back in the day, they lasted a while.
Now, may I ask...

WHO sells them the cheapest?

I think tirerack.com go for 64.00 a piece.

 

I got them from the tirerack, which was the cheapest place i could find them and paid 252 shipped after the $40 mail in rebate.

 

Kuhmo SPT's Ordered from tirerack.com

I want to thank everyone for there help!!

Can't wait to see my honda with the new bronze Rota Grids with the kuhmos!!

Now, how do I go about doing the mail in rebate? or will the new tires come with the coupons?

 

Good move. The SPT is easily the best of the tires you mentioned.

those kumho's are nto bad at all. they all suck in snow, the falken ziex look like *** on rims to me though, i like how kumhos look and they grip just fine

That's because all the tires mentioned above, except the Ziex, are summer tires. The Ziex are all-season tires. But if you live in Montana (or Chicago), you probably have a separate set of winter tires for the snow season anyway.

 

got any pics of the new wheels/tires?
