Ok I have been looking for some new tires and have narrowed it down to 2. The only problem im having is the sizes would be different.

1. Size: 225/40 18 Tire: Dunlop SP Sport FM901 Price: $92.60
I really like the tread design and I have found some pretty decent reviews of them.



2. Size: 215/45 18 Tire: Kumho Ecsta SPT Price: $122.30
I like these too, and they are the stock tire size, and I found them a little pricier but they are the stock size. If I go with the kumhos in a 225/40 size they are like 86 bucks a tire, and if I go with a 225/45 they are like 99 bucks a tire.



What do you guys think of them? Is it a good idea to go witih a 225/40 or 45? Im new to buying sports tires so I need a little help.

 

I personally would not go with the kumhos. Then again it all depends on how much you have to spend on new tires and what your going for. I think if your looking for a lower price and decent performance then something like the Toyos would be good.

 

The reviews on the Kumho SPT are actually really good. I am getting tires within a week or so and I may end up getting the Kumho SPT or Falken FK 452. I am going to get a 225/45 in either one. Just because they are cheap does not mean they are bad...

Check out www.discounttire.com for some decent prices too.

 

Thanks guys, yeah I just want to make sure I do this right. I think I may go with the Kumhos then since I dont really want to get away from the original diameter.

 

so far i've been doing very well at the track on my stock pirrellis... you sellin yours? or are they bald?

 

I like those dunlops.

 

Well 2 of em are getting bald, and the other 2 are about 50 percent. And when I came into work today I got a flat and had to plug it. Of course it was in one of the good ones. And I am not going with the DUnlops, heard some horror stories today, and I can get the Kumhos cheaper anyways. Thanks for all of your help guys.

 

i bealive i had those dunlops...pretty good

 

Hankook Ventus R-S2 225/40/18 FTW! Those are going on my car tomorrow and they are $142 a tire.

 

Get the General Exclaim UHP!! They are awesome and a great bargain. Look them up on tirerack.com. They are ranked #1 in the ultra high performance summer catagory. My friend has them on his WS6 T/A. His 60 foot dropped .15 seconds consistantly after changing from the SPTs, plus they are lasting a lot longer than the Kumhos did.

 

I just put falken 512 on my car. They were $95 a tire from tire direct online and were free shipping. They have great grip.... Although u lose alittle bit of handling from the tires being soo soft. But overall i love the tires.. 225/40/18
