hey all,
looking @ buying a new set of sneakers (tires..lol) for the car, and, im thinking about trying a diffrent tire than what i have been. I've been using Falken ZIEX 502's then 512's, since i got aftermarket rims..with decent results. for ~89$ a tire, they were ok. however, once they get some miles on them, they are aweful in the rain. the car hydroplanes all over the place. and with the extra power of the 5sfte, traction is DEFINETLY an issue, ANY time i get on it in 1st or 2nd. so, im wondering what all you guys are using for tires, especially you swapped guys! brand, style, size, list it all! if you just bought them with the rims, that dont count. how many miles you get out of a set would be good if you know that as well. i get about 20-25k out of a set of the falkens. TIA
