thats what I came up with for that size tire off of Nils secret website

if you have any suggestions that arent on the list go ahead and say it

if I have to spend a little more on tires that is ok, but the less the better

I want something with good grip and not too much noise
max price shoud still be around like 115, but less than 80 wouyld be preferred

I have the Kumho Ecsta 711's on my car and they are a great daily driver tire on dry or wet conditions. But on a performace side they are not the best especialy for autox.

Falken Azenis RT-615

Go to wal-mart, douglas touring FTW!

No j/k. I bought them once when I had a 400$ beater car, they where mint when I had my supercoupe, so, I put them on there, I was sliding sideways into 3rd

The car came with kumho 712's that kept the car hooked, at best I could jut slight jar-ing as I slammed it into 2nd. RWD ftw!

Does'nt mine and Nil's secret have the Kuhmo MXs anymore? Thats what me and him both bought for pretty cheap. I like them so far. They kicked ass autoXing last time I went.
I also have my BFG KDW2. I love them as well.

Secrets are lies.

So what is this secret site, 'cause those are some cheap prices.

I looked it up on the site. The same tires Nils' and I ordered are double what we paid for them....
Since they don't ahve the MXs, I had a set of these on my Talon, and I loved em...
Yokohama ES 100. Those are under 90$

I have been let in on that secret too, looks like the price in that size went up, and I don't know what size they come in for 16 inch

were the es 100's on that list (do they have another name also??)

Whats the secret site? Tires.com?

suckdeznuts.com

well I'm pretty impressed with my Toyo Proxes4, that I got from a place that most certainly couldn't be the 'secret' tire spot, because its http://www.edgeracing.com/
