im looking at buying a set of wheels and tires... but need some suggestions on tires...

the tires im looking at are:

nitto nt555
kumho ecsta SPT

any input is much appreciated

 

bf goodrich KDW
Falken Azenis

 

nitto's are kick ass in dry and cornerin,but little rain and they start to take a crap,alos they wear out fast..

dont know anything bout the kunho's,i had the asx,but diffrent tire

 

i have the kuhmo spt now for my summer tire. good tire, not bad for autocrossing, not loud on the road, very good tread wear. pretty good in the wet too

 

i got the nitto invos u should check them out on discount tire direct if u dont mind goin with a 225/45-18

 

well my first choice is the KDW but its kinda expensive for a set of 4... hows the spt traction wise (track)

 

I got the falken fk 452s in a 225/45/18. They were a little more than the SPT. They were the two cheapest tires that discounttiredirect.com had. I went with the Falken. Pulled a 2.1X in the 60' with them. I like them.

 

Kumho SPT has some great reviews...I just bought a set from tirerack.

 

I got some Falken 329's 225/45/R18 and they are pretty nice. They come with a 30,000 mile warranty. They are all season though, don't know if you are in to that.

 

kumho's arent bad for lateral traction. if you want to go straight fast they are horrible. i spin cosistemetly, whith KDW i can launch a lot better but I still have the lateral traction too. Thats my only gripe about the kumho's
