ya i just ordered my rims from wheelmax with NO tires cause their selection sucked. so i gotta find some cheap decent tires, and i narrowed it down to these 4. these are all season, i dont drive in snow really so dont care if they are bad in it, want somethin that will last awhile, my current p7000s lasted about 38,000. what do u guys think?
Dunlop SP Sport FM901
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712
Yokohama Parada Spec 2s
Pirelli P7000 SuperSport

those tires aren't all season, they're "summer tires"
of the group, the pirelli's or the kumho's will prob have the longest treadlife, but as far as peformance goes, the parada's or dunlops might be better.
i'd personally take the kumho's just because they're the cheapest. otherwise i'd get azenis.
c thats 100 bucks more than my budget so i dont think i will be able to get those... i mean i have to change my spark plugs and filter so need that extra 100, out of those 4 tho which do u guys think r best

Wheel Max has the Yokohama AVS Sport and Yokohama Parada Spec-2 which are good cheap tires. I got the Toyo T1S from them, expensive but the best tires IMO. What wheel Max were you going to? They have 3 of the 4 tires in your poll.
well i talked to wheelmax and the only 215/40/17 tires they had were the nankangs and some other cheap ass brand. im gettin the exel speed rims in gunmetal, should like phat. but ya, i would def get the wheel/tire combo if they had good tires, but they dont at the time. more opinions would be tight, thanks.

I had the Paradas on my 4th gen and now on my Fifth gen I have the new Nitto Neo Gen, best hadnling street tire I have ever owned. Better then the Parada IMO. Treadwear is 280 though. Traction AA
so would it REALLY be worth it to get the goodyear GSD3? i mean im on a pretty tight budget but i mean if it worth it then i can try to get 100 bucks more... thanks

yes. to me i consider great tires to be the single best thing you can do to a car. your car's handling and breaking is only as good as your tires.
aight well i ordered the yoko parada spec 2s from tire rack, did i make the right choice??? hope so, but ya wow i am really amazed wit tire rack, i ordered today i like 3 30pm and they already shipped it out, its suppose to arrive either tomorrow or the next day. thats wack!

I just got Kumho MXs from tirerack for 215/35/18 mounted yesterday, they perform very good, excellent traction, low road noise, good ride comfort
