I need to know what tire to get quick!!!

I cant deside on what tire to get....I orderd the falken GRB 451 from a local shop today but I am having second thoughts. The info on them is hear http://www.victoriatire.com/tires.ht...0Beta%20FK-451

These are the other ones I was looking at now http://www.victoriatire.com/tires.ht...en&NAME=ST-115

Thanks everyone!

I bought them from TireRack.com and had them installed at a small place called Foster's in Ballard/Fremont (on Leary). TireRack.com has a bunch of affiliated installers. I got the tires for $673 including 2-day direct shipping to Foster's. He charged me $75 for install and disposal of the old stocks.

BTW, when are we gonna have another Seattle meet? It's gettin' nice out again...

Bridgestones are great track tires. Not exactly THE best in the wet.


If you aren't planning on taking it to the track, then don't waste your money, speed racer.

Yeah, I sure don't have any problems in the rain and in heavy rain at freeway speeds. Epoxy-like grip... (IMO, shopping around is required as prices vary way too much)


Still a major T1S fan --

(Would probably get s-03/s-02 if T1S weren't around...)

for all season -- the Michelin Pilot A/S' look nice...
