I am currently in the process of getting some 17 in rims from wheelmax, they offer packages with set size tires, their selection of tires are good but i am not sure which tire to go with

my choices include kumho 712, nitto 450 or 555, yokohoma parada, toyo fz4 and ti5

i have heard some mixed about kumho, and nitto
what do you guys think would be the best choice???
or should i go with a different brand from a seperate store ie goodyear, michelin pilot????

help please

I have the kumho 712 and they work all right in the rain, but I would personally go with the Parada myself.

I have the Kumho 711's and I love 'em. I've heard the Parada's are pretty good, but wear kinda fast. It all depends on your price range. The 711's are $67 and the Parada's are $99 a piece at www.tirerack.com.

You might want to throw Yokohama AVS ES100s in there too. I believe the compound is a little bit harder than Paradas, but they're awesome in the rain and durable on the track. Tons of grip. I've heard the Nitto 450 and Toyo FZ4s are not so hot, but the 555 and T1s are great.
If they have the tires you want in the package then go for it... otherwise get them locally. I don't think you want Pilot Sports... they don't last very long (the wear index is like 200). ON the other hand, BigDaddyHonda has the new Eagle F1 (I think its the Eagle F1-D3) and loves them.... but they're a bit more expensive.

Just put yokohama AVS ES100's on 17x7 rims (tires are 205 45)

The amout on traction is crazy, I'm going to the track on monday to see how they improve my lap time. Traction in the rain is also amazing. I can't speak for the wear as I've only got about 2000 km on them.

later
