what tires do you all recommend that will give me good traction and will last more than 10,000 miles and that arent too expensive???

 

I have Yokohama AVS sports. I love 'em. They're sticky as hell and they'll last more than 10k miles. I've also had good luck with S-03s and S-02pp's. They cost a little more though. I've also heard good things about Kuhmo MXs. DO NOT get those shitty Kuhmos that every body has. They are shit, and they're heavy as hell. Also, do not get Yokohama A520s. For the most part you get what you pay for in tires. For the money I don't think you'll beat Yoko AVS sports.

 

where do i get them and how much do you think they will run for 195/60/R14 ???

btw: thanks

 

agreed, kuhmos good for..."i need a tire" and thats it...also, i had a set of yoko's a520 and they didnt last 12k miles...but did handle pretty well...

 

Sumitomo HTR ZII, got good traction, nice tread pattern and they are have like a 40000 mile warranty or some shit.

 

My A520s lasted a little while (not that long though). They handled really good at first but after a couple track days they were shit. They still had planty of rubber left but it was just hard as a rock. After that they were probably the least predictable tire I'd ever driven on. There was no warning when they'd let loose and there was almost no chance of recovering when they did. Thats a problem S2000s DO NOT need. In my opinion, if you do any type of hard driving, they are a dangerous tire.

Also, jdm_ef8 guy....Sorry man, I wasn't even paying attention. Yokohama doesn't make AVS sports in your size. You could possibly check into some AVS intermediets (sp?) or the Kuhmo MXs I was talking about. I think Falken makes some pretty good tires in that size as well but I'm not sure.

 

i still like the old dunlop sp sport 8000s~ they're cheap, performance isnt great, but acceptable, and they lasted me about 12-13k miles~

 

My 1G Talons handled like crap with Goodyear, and other brands of the like. When I put various Yokohama tires, I became a sold customer. I did put some Dunlop sports on my fiancees car once. I was pretty impressed with those to. Right now, I have the new soft composite Yokohamas that come stock on the EVOs......Good God the grip is badass.

 

I have the new Nitto Neo Gen's and they are extremely grippy and a very road absorbant tire, not to mention the very best wet tire I have ever experienced. I only paid $340 for all four brand new. But I don't think they make them as small as your looking for.
