Summer Tires!

Well, the steelies are gone and my 18" stockers are back on. I ditched the stock perelli's (they wre of no use anymore) and decided to go with some p235/40/18 Fuzion ZRi's

They have 320AA treadwear rating and I LOVE how they handle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I am on stock suspension and they are soo responsive and just stick to the road. Gotta love the 235's!

They were $606 for 4 mounted and balanced and put on my car. Id ssay pretty good deal for what im getting! Reccomend to alllll! I will have some pics up later today or tomorow!

I guess the Fuzion's run a little thin compared to other tires. I couldn't see KDW's fitting on the stock rims at 235.

I'm looking at 225 General UHP's this spring. Just can't wait to get the damn Pirelli's off. I bet you fell in love w/ your car all over again...

The rossos are like racing slicks compared to the p6's...my KDW-IIs made car feel like a whole new machine.

Those general UHPs are supposed to be awesome in the dry but 'leave a little to be desired in the wet'

I may try them out next season

Stock rims will take at most on stock suspension 245/40/18.
Just FYI.

A fairly unknown tire I've been looking at more closely recently is the Hankook S1 EVO K107. They look pretty damn grippy, and the construction looks top notch. Don't know about the wear, but it's probably not great. I work at a tire shop, so I may bring some of these in just to take a look, lol.

I used to run Hankook Ventus HRII's on my J-body. Real solid tires, great agility handling. Unfortunately, I didn't get to drive them through their life cause I got rid of the cav after only about ~5K on those tires. They were in premo shape when I left them though.

I thought about those new ones, but the Gen UHP's are lighter and cheaper for me...
