With those specs, I whould recomend either Falken or Kumho tires, They are hard to beat when it comes to Value and Performance. Especially when it comes to stock sized wheels.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

ECSTA MX is a much stickyer tire then the ECSTA SUPRA. It wont las as long but it grips a whole lot more. Its pretty much Kumhos answer the the Falken AZENIS. they are pretty close when it comes to traction.
Tires that gip well will not last long. basically the softer the compound the better it grips, Falken AXENIS will last some where between 15000 and 20000 miles. as will Ecsta MX's. Ecsta Supra's are a much harder compound designed to compete with other "street" tires. as both the Falken Azenis and Kuhmos Ecsta MX's are almost a race compound tire.

I have those tires and I'm going to vote against them. They squeal like whiney bitches when the tread is near it's end. Even new they squeal like bitches but only gets worse.
They are good if you're driving like grandma, otherwise for performance... blah. :tdown;

That depends. You could get 25,000 miles out of a Potenza S-03 Pole Piston and a bit more out of the Firehawk SZ50 EP if you're willing to sacrafice a lil traction.
Then again, the Pole Pistons are the best tire on the market now if you have the money. The only problem is, you won't be able to find a proper size for it to fit a 15 inch wheel without messing up the speedo.
i agree that kumhos are shit. i used to love my supra 712 but now, recently, they have been giving me mad traction problems and they have around 18,000 miles on them. it is time to get new ones, they wore down way to fast.
Kumhos suck I just bought some tires to replace em I bought Sumitomo HTR+ If you look at the stats on tirerack.com they out perform pretty much any tires even yokohama and you cant beat there price.
