I go for Yokohama..my tires have so much grip that it's virtually impossible to break them loose unless you do something really stupid.....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I have the Falken Azenis ST 115's (215/45/17) and I love them. Unfortunately you arent gonna get a lot of help because a lot of the guys here will only tell you the tires they have are the best. All I know is the Falken's grip well, look great, and do well in the rain.

Kumhos are a good bang for the buck very good all around tire. Falken's have a tad bit better design and I think grip much better. The Falken's are more expensive than the Kumho's and I believe the Kumho's will have better tread life, pending how much you're on them.


As for thwe Yokohama's, not to familiar with those.

Myself, I have Toyo Proxes FZ4's, and love em to death.

Yokohamas are the best all around tire but pretty expensive. Kumhos are cheaper and hold up well. i have 195/50/16 kumho esta supras and i have 205/50/16 kumhos and they hold up real well.

i like the falken azenis (not the st's though, i have the 1st generation ones) they're the best because of they're grip and price.

Yokos are one of the best tires out there, but I didn't want to spend the few extra bucks, and went with Kumhos instead. I'm still happy with them, they look good, grip well, and are supposed to have the best tread life of them all.

TopFuel will become famous soon enough
Just purchased my Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s in 195/55/15s for 360$ installed and warranty on everything. Got it at discount tire/america's tire co. The service is great and i was in and out of the place in just over an hour and a half. There was even an inn-n-out nearby and i got food there while i was waiting. They even fix tires for people for FREE if you ever need to repair a tire. I'll update you guys on the tread wear and everything as the months pass. They look great, but I havent tested the grip out yet. Late.
