Tires

Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:23 pm

I know a few are looking for summer tires.

I found some decent kumho mx tires. Remember these tires retail over $160 a piece most places. I love them though, worth their weight in gold.

215/45r17 - $106/tire

215/40r17 - $110/tire (what I have)

Not a bad price....

alternatives

Falken Azenis 615 (I heard these are sticky, but not so good in water)

Hankook RS-2 (been looking at these for awhile, not quite as sticky, bu better in water I believe)

Yokahama AVS ES 100 (had these on my 17's, they were pretty decent)

Also I have considered the MX's, but they are more expensive currently

I never had a problem last year in the wet with my 615's, you can't blast like it is dry out, but what summer tire allows that.

You need to check out the 615's, you wanna talk sticky on the dry, they will make you pucker so tight you will have to pull the seat cushion and seat springs out of your ass.

how about hankook 106, any one uses it before? i'm looking for 215/50/17 (i know i have more choice on 45)
i'm looking for the best bang for the summer tire under $100/tire (if there is one)
thoughts?

I ran those on my SPI with the wheels that I sold Scotty8 they where ok, NOT that great. Road rought and kinda loud. but if your looking for cheap tires they fit the bill.

These are relatively new tires in the Hankook UHPAS line. Did you have the V4ES or the VENTUS H405 HR II? (see pic).

They were the Ventus, not sure which model.
