Default What kind of tires are you running???

Check the threads didn't really see anything specific about tires...mostly on rims and tires that is different size them OEM's...

I'm start saving to replace my Yoko Advans, I'm still on stock rims though...

I found this tire that suit my needs...

Kumho Ecsta SPT (Ultra High Performance Summer) $129.00 (per tire via tirerack.com)

* Size: 215/45ZR18
Sidewall Style: Blackwall
Serv. Desc: 89Y
Load Index 89 = 1279lbs (580kg) per tire
Speed Rating "Y" = 186mph (300kph)
UTQG: Treadwear: 320
Traction: AA
Temperature: A

for the price this is the best i've found...cuz according to specs...it has excellent traction and treadwear compare to Yoko's...which I need the most is that the tire tread is gonna last longer then yoko's

However...let me know what u guys think about Kumho's...my friend said Kumho make pretty good tires...

but if you guys can share your thoughts on any other OEM size tires w/good value and performance...that'll be great...

I've always love falkens, I'm on fk452's and i love them. if they are a little out of your price range you can go with the ziex 912's and they are a little cheaper.

Kumho makes an excellent tire. I use the ASX on my 16" off season wheels and the XS on my stock rims for AutoX.

I had Nitto NT05s and loved them. They were sticky, handled well, and responded well. However, tread life on those things suck since it was so soft (treadware was 200). I am getting Continetal DWs. They got good overall ratings on tirerack. They should be here o Wednesday and I'm going on a mountain run on Sunday so I'll let you know how they perform.

yeah...primarily I'm looking for tire that have a higher treadwear...but not those of all season tires...

imo...our stock yoko's have too short of a life-span...
