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.

Kumhos Ecsta Supras are ****. They are ricer-hype. They are cheap, yes but they don't last for **** and one you realized that, they are worth ****.

If you want a good tire at a cheap price that will last and outperform the Kumhos:

Yokohama AVS ES100.

Or Falken Azenis if you live in a place that doesn't rain a lot.

Want to spend more?

Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Piston.

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 ****. 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.

I would say Michelin X-One's if you have winter driving to do because they are the ultimate all seasons and Michelin Destiny's as well.

I had X-One's when I first got my ride. Just wanted the FireCraps off it ASAP.
