Well I'm about to get another set of tires for my 17's, and I'm on a limited budget right now. I am trying to stay under $280 shipped for them. I'm not going to be doing any racing and only a little spirited driving every now and then. I want decent mileage out of these as well and I have a separate set for the winter already. BTW, the car is lowered...

I want to know what you would chose or if there is another that you recommend...

So far I'm looking at:

Wanli S1088 $220 shipped
Treadwear Ratings: 280 A A
Performance Ratings: 80 W
Directional


Falken Ziex Ze-512 $240 shipped
Treadwear: 360
Traction: A
Speed Rating: ZR


Kumho Ecsta AST(KU25) $250 shipped
Treadwear Rating: 400 A
Performance Ratings: 84 H


NT NeoGen ZR $270 shipped
Treadwear Ratings: 280AA
Performance Ratings: 84 Z
Non-directional

 

I cant speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't purchase the Kumho you listed here. Ive never had any issues with previous tires in the past , but the kumhos had major issues with impact breaks in the sidewall. I went through a set of 4 in less than a year.

In my opinion, dollar for dollar you cant beat a set of falken azenis.

 

my brother has a set of Nitto Neogens. and I love the dry grip. Not sure about the wet conditions.

 

Stay away from the Wanli and Kumho

I like Falken RT-615
$550 for a set of (2f)225/45/17, 2(R)255/40/17

 

I love my Neogens.

 

Falken. The rest in your list are garbage.

 

yea I'm leaning towards the falkens and the neogens right now...

 

They all look like garbage. $280 shipped? Must be nice...

I like I said, the car is just a daily driver and won't be experiencing any extreme driving conditions... The prices I've found are the cheapest for each from various sites. They're offered with free shipping so just go for $75 or less per tire I guess...
