Love my nitto 450's they grab good and well they last a pretty long time. If you have camber wear shouldn't you invest ina 120 dollar camber kit?? pretty logical

I use Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S for my AWD Subaru. Just put them on and I love them.

You can't beat Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s, made in Germany (so don't think just because it's Goodyear it's a domestic only tire) engineered for euro/handling/performance cars. They are the only tire to beat out the S03s in dry/wet tests, and have a better treadwear. I dropped a little over 220 per tire at the time, but that was for 255/35/18s.

ps: just checked, the 17s are right around $140 on tirerack..
Check out the tread pattern on these things,


edit:Tire Rack.. Max Performance Summer
How Did This Tire Rank In Its Category? - 1 out of 18 tires (Score of 8.8 vs best tire in category score of 8.8)

Yoko Paradas are pretty reasonable, and they're grippy, and supposedly great i the rain. Just don't drive in the snow.

ok guys, the tires i need are 205/50/15 the prices i posted were for 2 of them. Also, you make a good point as to looking at the tread wear rating. I need a set that will last a while (which is why i hesitate on the Azenis) i am running Azenis' up front, so i know how the traction and noise goes.
