Low Pro's ? Options

[Kamakaze]

WHat a good suggestion on some low profile tires I would like to get some by the time summer hits and im kinda new to the whole tire thing

Depends on rim size, and how much comfort while driving you want.

I ride 19"s 225/35-19 the ride pretty much sucks, handles great in the corners, plus not that many people ride 19"s.

Nitto 555's nice tire's

Kuhmo Ecsta ASX are good. I have Falken Ziex 512's on mine but they wear down too fast because they're z-rated. Go with the Kuhmos for longer tread life, I'll get them this fall when my current tires wear out. Go to this link and type in your tire size and you'll get a bunch of results.

You can see what the "star rating" on each tire is and what people who bought them said about them. Be sure to click "read all reviews" and read the ones with 10,000 miles or more on the tires because they have a better idea on how the tire performs over time. Click all the tire types and brands just to give you a variety and sort by price so you can see what you get for cheap and for lots of money. If you have a Discount Tire in your city, print the ad with the price on the tires you want and they'll price match. That's how I got mine so I was able to have them balanced and installed rather than just shipped to my door in a box. One last thing, if you haven't bought rims yet, don't buy them bigger than 17". I have 18's and wish I had 17's because there are a ton more tires for the 17" and they're cheaper for them and you'll have a thicker band of rubber between your rim and the pavement. Let me know if you have any more questions.

If you are going to get low profile tires, get a 40 or 50 series. 35's will ride like crap. I had them on my old car. Felt every bump in the road. Get somewhere around 225/40(or 45)-(whatever wheel size)

Right know I have Kumho 711's. I don't hate them, but I don't exactly like them. My size is 205/40-17.. I want 215's or 225's

I have Kuhmo 711s. They're decent, idk what to compare them to because this is my first set of performance tires, but they were cheap cheap cheap when I bought them.

my suggestion is go on tirerack.com and find some rims and your tire size and just look at the reviews and ratings. This will give you the best information. For me i want an all-season tire. I bought continental extremecontact tires and really liked them but screwed up and got them in a 35 sidewall. like 95celi said they ride like crap and when you hit a bump, you are praying that your rim isnt bent. So now im going with an avon tyre in size 225/45-18.
