  • Recommendation for Tires.

    I been looking here. Just for reviews. Lets keep in mind I am looking for handling dry traction at high speeds and autocrossing. Again I dont care about hookup from the hole or how it does at the track.
    I have BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD and been pretty pleased with them.


    I was also looking for something different. Like Yokohama AVS ES100.
    Seem to be the same price. looked like it will lay more rubber on the ground.

    Kumho ECSTA MX doesnt look bad. Cheap too. I thought about getting them and enjoying it for a year.


    I like the tread on these. It does matter to me what they look like treadwise. Also you can see I am gravitating toward cheap. Looks at these and comment please.

    If your looking for a good set of cheap tires check out the coopers on this page, I ordered a set of zeon zpts they are unbeatable for the price. There are also a few other "cheap" tires on there I'd stay away from kuhmos......... never heard a good thing about'em. https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop...n=findCombined

      I would reccomend the ES100 Yokohama, Ive had them on my car for a little while and absolutely love them, they hold extremely well and I have taken some pretty hard turns with them. I can see them doing well in an auto cross. They look very aggressive also.

        I've ran Nittos 555's ever since I've got my car.

        My budget is tight this time around so I'm gonna run Falken FK-415's. I hear good stuff about them.

        I'd run the BFG's if you got money to burn...Yokohama's are nice too.

        I hear cracking issues with Kumho 715's...a buddy of mine ran MX's without any problem though...but I'd still go else where.

              the Coopers. running cheap tires on your car is like putting cheap string in a 200.00 tennis racquet... your game will only be as good as your strings.
