Default Need help deciding on Tires.

Hi, can anyone help me decide on which tires to buy? I have 17" Racing Harts and are deciding what tires would be good. Im looking for Z-rated performance tires.

Something that isn't too soft and will last me a while. Tires get expensive !!!

You really think that you are going to need "Z"-rated tires? What do you do with your car? I auto-x alot and I am using the Falken Azenis. They get a for grip and price.

If you are wanting tires just for street driving then you'll probably want something that will last longer than Azenis. Azenis are the best tire for the money, especially for the track and autocross but their tread-life is weak.

I use Kumho Ecsta 712s for everyday driving. They are decent but the main thing is that they are cheap and last about twice as long as the Azenis.

Wow...there is a lot of good responses for the Kumho series tires. They are up and coming i guess.. . How much do those run?

Yeah, I probably shouldn't get Z-rated tires cuz Im just gonna do regular street driving. What you think?
