A local shop is having a sale on rubbers. Which of these would be the best/stickiest tire.
Probably going with 225/45/17 Choices are: Kumho Escta 711, 712, SPT, MX (summers) Escta ASX, AST (HP all seasons) Anyone have any personal experience? |

I put hankook ventus k104 on the vr4 (After getting a quote for 1200usd for tires from other places... ) i ordered the set online and got them to my door shipped and installed for 540 usd ...
I even autoxed them. They're not a bad tire... 'budget performance tire' sure... but the 3000gt vr4 is AWD so you're not really relying 100% on the tire for the grip... the AWD is doing alot of the work (even at the autox) ...and those tires were FREAKING LOUD at the autox. Now on the michelens... they are grippier ...and they're being more tested as this car is inherently unstable (RWD with good torque)... and when you get them moving they rearely screach...even if you're fully sideways... so i like how quiet they are... yet like you said they are expensive. I don't drive much (15k miles in the last 2 years) so something like Pilot sport cups is an option for me...but i'm also thinking of some BFG tires as they are priced a bit better than michelen rubber. Hankooks are not bad for the price... but they are nothing like the top manufacturer's for sure ...
