you can find far better tires for the same price @ tirerack

under $100 per 225/45/17:
kuhmo spt
sumitomo htrz3

a little bit more but under $125 per tire:
kuhmo ecsta mx
yokohama s.drive
hankook r-s2
pirelli pzero nero
etc

you got that right.

I get the feeling in my tummy like when ive gone computer shopping, and i run into the $500.00 asus. Past experience tells me that if i buy it and walk out of store, ill be going rt back inside for the 1st choice macbook.

With pcs'and tires you get what you pay for, only thing is you cant return used rubber.

thanks nhat.

More than a few people on nasioc[aggresive fit thread] have them, and it seems that its a satisfactory non auto x choice. Good for rain ,back road asshating etc...
But , like in the movie casino,
when it came time to kill sam rothstein,They all said sam was a '' o.k kid'',but ''why take a chance.'' = clip em! haha .thanks evil.

no problem, glad i could help enlighten

JD_STI · 07-11-2008, 07:34 PM

How about the Falken RT-615's. I just picked up a set for $120/tire from American Tire in OC.

**Cr8zyJAP07** · 07-12-2008, 04:19 AM

g-force sports are pretty good for the price.

T3h_Clap · 07-12-2008, 07:05 AM

you can always PM me if you need something.

anyway, there is alot of great info in here from the other IWSTI Veterans.

Personally if you're looking for a long lasting quality tire that isn't terribly expensive i'd look into the Bridgestone RE760 Sports

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

Personally I wouldn't run nexxen tires unless I was getting paid to, and even then it'd only be when the nexxen people were looking

Well, what's the best performing summer tire for under 130 bucks?
In your opinion of course.

Sorry to thread jack.

T3h_Clap · 07-12-2008, 07:45 AM

Dunlop Z1 Star Specs
Falken RT615s
Hankook Z212 RS2s
RE070 take offs

Maverick31 · 07-12-2008, 07:48 AM

Thanks.

I love my RE070's, but what's the next best thing out of the tires you named above?
I heard that the RS2's are really good for the money.
