Ok, I'm mulling over the idea of buying the 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears from TOMZ Wheels sometime this spring. Now I'm looking at tire options.
1. I want tire that I can drive in the rain if need be. 2. I'd like to spend less than $200 a tire. 3. Road noise is not a factor, I probably couldn't hear it over my exhuast anyhow. 4. Tread wear is only a minimal factor. What do the Guru's recomend? |

Sumitomos! I'm on my 2nd set now...the first lasted about 4 years. I bought the first set from Tirerack but this time found someone who could beat their prices. Tires-easy.com for $425 shipped to my door. I checked around and no one locally could get within $100 of the shipped price.

Thanks guys!
Yeah the Sumitomo's really seem to be the best bang for the buck. Tires-easy.com? I'll have to check into that. I already check the tire rack pricing. Thanks again! |

this is why we need to get tirerack.com as a link again...
I have had great success with Kumho, too. My current tire is a Toyo, the worlds greatest tire... cause they were FREE! I won them from Speed TV back in 2005. |
