I bought a set of 17" Enkei RS5 and now im looking for tires

I want to go with 215/40/17 cauz im not lowered (future plan)

Im more into durability than performance (also I dont want something very pricy)

I dont have a lot of knowledge in tires and I heard from some ppl to go with Khumos

My local shop told me that Khumos drive rough and dont last long. They told me to go with Federal, they have a better ride quality and last longer (for about the same price)




suggestions guys?

Right now I've got Yokahome Avid H4 215/40-17 HR I believe and they've lasted about a year and a half so far with quite a bit of tread left. The ride quality is pretty decent (and I have Eibach Sportline springs and new shocks).

Whatever you decide to get, I highly recomend getting something with a H speed rating and not Z or V, you'll get much better life out of them. Also, make sure to keep them rotated about every 6,000 miles to increase tread life also.
