Well Nothing beats the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's in price to quality ratio... They're an awesome tire.. Good treadwear, quiet. Great wet and dry traction.. but May make bumps seem a little bumpier... Also I'd reccomend getting them in 215/40Zr17's. for best traction and wear.

Cheers

The 711, but see if you can get the 712's...the 712's have that nice deep groove down the middle for water evacuation...
