Kuhmo 711 is what we used.....if it was a tiny bit cold out the tires wouldn't stick and would slide very easily....crappy in wet
just never gave good traction and just poor performance.... |

Eagle F1 GSD3. They rock. Really helped out in my autocrossing. But like the gt4 owner said, they're expensive. You get what you pay for with tires tho.

GT4 - Bridgestone GIII, 225/45/17
St - Bridgestone RE040, 225/40/18 Had a set of Toyo proxes T1-S on the St, they lasted about 12000 miles. The Bridgestone have loads more grip on corners compared to the Toyo, however they did cost me £560 for a set. |

Just ditched the Faulkens (wore them out on some Scotish B-Roads) for some Kumho 711`s, not bad tyres at all, judging by some of the comments on here they work better with 4wd than they do with 2wd as they have taken all I have thrown at them so far.

With my 17"s I chose to go for the 215-40 size. With this in mind, I originally had Yokohama Paradas and they were great, really great for handling but the tread life was terrible. I autocrossed in them and they worked great, but I didn't even get a year out of them.
If you don't race all that much and want a good all around wet/dry tire, get some Yokohama Avid H4s. I'm on my second set now and still love them. If you rotate them regularly, you'll get great life out of them and pretty decent traction when needed. I'll use these until I switch to a different size wheel when my car is finally not a daily driver. |

falken ziex ze512 205/50/16, love them and they only cost me 69 dollars a piece. not bad for a tire that won consumer digest best buy. when i need a new set im going to go with either 225/45, 225/50 or maybe 205/45 but i think id like a wider section width
