You could always do a search; people are always looking for tire recommendations. I found the Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce to be the best blend of price, performance, durability, and comfort.

What are you going to be doing with your car (track, street, dragstrip, offroad, etc)? What kind of weather will it be seeing?

Whats up. Get the Kuhmo Escta's. They are not to much money. Look on www.tirerack.com

I got those they arent that bad, smoke up nicely once in a while, better than those goddamn MXV4 Michelin. No screeching when cornering. I got them for 74 a piece.

Are tha KHUMOS any good? They are pretty cheap. Mainly for street racing & we dont have bad winters here in Atlanta, So snow/ice/salt isnt a concern.

The Kumho 712's are fine for a street tire and spirited street driving. I have a set in 215/45 17 on my WRX. They're not nearly as good as RE730's, SZ50EP's, AVS Sports, etc... but for the money, who cares?

I wouldn't want to go autocrossing with them, but hey, that's what the R compounds are for, right?
