I posted this before but didn't get a very good response (thank you ttgeek)

I'm looking ofr a fairly inexpensive set of replacemtn tires. they need to handel wel in the rain and have excellent stability and dry traction. I also need them to last for a while so treadwear needs to be above 300 at least. If anyone has experience with any of these it'd be most helpful...

 

Ecsta 711's, I know that's a not choice, but they're cheaper than the 712's. Mine had barely any wear after almost 10K miles. Worked fine for me for daily driving.

 

well find me a price for them and i'll consider taking a look. i need 225/55/r16's.

 

i got the Kumho's for 67.00 a piece at Tire City in Newport News. Good tires, they have over 11k miles and just now starting to show camber wear. Just my .02.

 

i have falken 512 up front now. good traction in dry, but they SUCK ASS in the rain. im moving them to the back wheels because ive got nitto 450s coming in tomarrow or wednesday that im going to put up front. ill tell you how they feel.

 

We have five cars using Yokohama AVS ES100's, including mine. We are all very satisfied so far. I recommend them. They even kept a nail from going all the way through in one of my rear tires (which are $175 because of the size). They definitely got my vote. These are fairly new to the market, so don't expect many votes for these yet.

Kuhmos are cheap; no wonder why they are leading the poll right now.

 

I just ordered the Yokohama's Tonight...they will be here thursday. Ill let you know how they are.

 

I can't find the 711's in that size, so my guess it that that size doesn't exist.

 

I have Nitto drag radial 315 in the rear and some Kumo Supra's up front....both are awesome tires!

 

Sorry no slicks. This is gonna be a DD car with some light atuo X and some moderate track use. And if you doubt the auto X then ask somone how i drive...
