I'm getting 4 new tires on my '94 GS-R tomorrow, and was looking for some suggestions. I have Falken Azenis on there now, but those ain't gonna cut it for winter, even in TX. So I'm open to any suggestions, just don't want to spend more than say, $110 a tire

 

Yokohama ES100

excellent treadwear, supersticky, good traction in the wet, and cheap

I was just going to ask as well........I got on the throttle last night for chits and giggles, and I was getting no traction....backed off super quick...my KUMHO's just dont stick in the wet stuff.

 

the cool thing about the Es100's is they are Euro-Spec as well.

Khumo 716's are pretty good winter tires too.

Me too. I hate these 712s I have. I cant wait to replce them with some yokos.

 

Ok... I'm gonna try and get the ES100, but it's my parents that are actually getting the tires, and it has to get inspected today (I'm in college). So what's a good 2nd choice in case the ES100s aren't in stock?

 

well, because my dad had to go get my car inspected today, we put some Kuhmo 712s on there... I figured they'd be better than Azenis in the cold/rain, and better handling than the all-seasons I was looking at. It was either the 712s, or the 711s

 

it's not a bad tire for the money.

burn them down for a while then get the Es100's later...
