What tires do you ride on??
what tires do all of you ride on?? either stock or custom? and post your sizes and opinions!
I ride on Continental Contiextreme contact 215/50zr17 for stock.
On my 18's 225/40zr18 Yokohama Parada Spec II's.
Conti is a great all around tire especially for the winter months here in NY, but the Yoko's have an unbelievable dry/wet grip for superior handiling and ride comfort!

Yokohama AVS ES 300 215/50/17 (or 45...I forget)
Unbelievable tires...after 2000 miles still infinitely better that the stock tires...and look pretty sharp too

Goodyear F1 GS D3 on stock wheels, 225-45 -17
Rated #1 overall in high performance tire test by EVO magazine..... (British)
#1 rating on 3 season tires by consumers at Tire Rack site....
Biggest improvement as a single investment in ride, handling and stopping power on my 2002 CL-S.

Summer - 225/40/18 Khumo Ecsta KH11 on 5Zigen Copse 18"
Winter - 255/55/17 Blizzak WS-50 on Mille Miglia Spiders 17"
I'm with ya in Westchester county... but I decided on dedicated snows for the winter. That way I could get great summer tires and still be safe in the winter.

Well..
Still running on my Yokohama AVS dB's in 235/45's, but needing some new tires quick (I feel a camber kit, front at least in my near future).
Unfortunately the AVS Db S2's are going for 200+ at Discount Tire (S2's are supposed to be different compounds, but how that justifiies the price differences is still a mystery to me). I might be going with the AVS Summer Tire (ES100's??) but I don't know if i'll be happy with the road noises coming off of these after experiencing the quite ride and performance with the AVS dB's I have now.
Anyone have any suggestions??

I'm riding on four NEARLY BALD Falken Azenis ST-115 225/40/18's.
I don't know what I am replacing them with come spring.
BLIZZAK's going on for the winter any day now.

By spring time, my intention is purchase a new set of rims, so I had the Parada Spec II's, great tire, good price, very sticky, but I was looking at the following:
Parada Spec II's again
Nitto 555
Nitto Neo Gen
P Zero Nero
BFG KDW II <LOVE the looks BUT does not carry our load rate
Yoko AVS ES 100
I am leaning again on the Spec II's

What is the most you all would of pay for does tires that you have? Are they worth the price you paid??
For me the Conti's, great Buy!!
Also for the PArada Spec II's, good buy, even BETTER if it didnt wear out that fast!!

Kumho Ecsta MX 225/45/17
Damn sticky, seriously aggressive tread pattern, excellent grip in the rain, stiff-stiff sidewall.
Downside--they get a flat spot overnight and need a few minutes to warm up before they get quiet. I love 'em though.
