opinion needed - Honda Prelude Forum

Opinions needed: I am looking to buy some new tires, deciding between the Kumho
ECSTA 711 or the 712. I want something good but not noisy and that will last long. Also, would it be better to order these tires from an online place like tirerack or buy local. Does anyone know a good cheap place to get tires in LA, near the west side or anywhere for that matter? The size I need is 215/40/17

Thanks!

sometimes you can get the tires from tires.com(discount) for cheap
you go pick em up from a store and just have them mounted from someone else(hopefully someone you know

that way its free)

on a side note: my friend used to work there and he always called those 'Cum-Hos'

have you thought about the parada spec 2's? i know they werent the ones you listed but i was going to get one of those 2 and went ahead and spent a lil extra. these tires are awsome for dry and wet traction. even in the rain i can floor it in 1st gear and i dont spin. just a thought.

how much?

I have the 711's, I thought they kicked ass until my brother got Parada Spec 2's... I have also heard great reviews of the Falken Azenis.

no one has tried the Hancook Ventus HRII H405 ?
