Tires, tires, tires
OK guys, I need new tires. My problem is, there seems to be soo many tires, and soo many different "best tires" out there, I dont know which to choose. Im looking for a high performance all season tire, 245/50 r 16. Im thinking of the toyo proxes fz4. They have these at the local les schwaab, and they run about 150 a peice installed. Im a student on a budget, so my question is for the money what can i get in this range that is the best? If I hae to order them, thats ok. thanks

I'll second the KDWS. I used 'em during winter break during 2 storms, 1 was a freak that I didn't see coming, made it home on unplowed roads with 2" of snow and traction control OFF. I hardly spun out, only cause I took a turn a little too fast, my own doing. Other than that, I made it through everything.

My buddy has those toyo's on his car (95 TA) and I wasnt all that impressed... seemed to have a bit of trouble in the slush, in spite of careful driving. They were about as good as my 3 season Bridgestones in the snow... that isnt saying much...
He got em through a Mfr promo (hes a mechanic) for 300 bucks, which is why he is running them

I have the BFG G-force KDWS 245/50/16. They are excellent tires too and mine have at least 90-95% tread left after 2 years.

They are GREAT tires though. Mine were $129 each on sale. I'll probably get them again unless I get a killer deal on something else.

Yokohama AVS ES100... no doubt.. hands down..
Look it up on tirerack and its ratings..
I wouldnt run a BFG tire.. Not too happy with them.
I prefer Yokohamas for the price and what I get out of them..
Nittos are not good for all around driving.. daily driving.. good for summer or track..
Yokohama AVS ES100's are good for all around.. Great for rain as well..

Good luck whatever you choose. Also, if you're on a budget, check out the TireRack.com. They sometimes have very good deals for the $$.

I love my Bridgestones... Going to get 15-20k hard (read = autocross) miles out of them. I will probably replace them with the 750's, if i dont opt for for the yokohamas... gonna be a tough desision...
Only complaint is that the sidewall is so tough, that you cant lauch the car at the strip with these tires... only gotten a 2.1 60' with them... even after giving them a qucik spin.
