Default TIRE QUESTIONS

i have some falken azenis tires on my S right now and between the previous owner and myself we have killed these tires. they werent very old when i bought the car and now they are almost bald. i admit i do have some alignment issues but that will be getting fixed after the new tires.

i want a good tire that will last a while, but that im still going to get good performance out of without a HUGE price tag. the same tire that i have on it now is only about 330 a set. i would like to stay right around that price which is about 73 a piece for the front and a little more on the rear. these prices are from discounttiredirect.com i have used them before with great service, so no worries.

what tires are you guys using and what are your commments about them. good or bad.

Sorry, but if you want a very sticky tire it isn't going to last long. Sticky = soft = wears quickly.

The Azenis is pretty extreme in that regard though. Go for something a bit milder like the Kumho Ecsta SPT or BFGoodrich G-Force Sport.

I'd get some Pirelli's if the price is right.
