Best tires to buy???

[Eric Sermon]

What do you think the best tires to buy are, size 225/45/17? I had AVS Sport Yoks, they were pretty nice but didn't last very long...especially the way I drive... what about Pirelli P7000's or the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's? Let me know guys...TIA.


If you want to chose between those two tires, I personally would go with the P7000's. I had a set on my car and just recently switched to Kumho's, the pirellis were much noisier, but had a lot more grip and less sidewall deflection. If you want to corner hard just by S-03s or Pilot sports, if you cant afford em get the P7000, or if your really broke like me get the kumhos(i got my 245/45 17s for $118)

Go for them.

ps, how can you possibly need new tires, i bet you dont even have 5,000 miles on that thing

I have 11,647 miles on it .I'm also on my second set of tires.

If you want a cheaper alternative to SO-3's, I'm happy with my Bridgestone RE730s and would recommend them.

so basically what u guys are saying is to go with the SO3's and the Kumho's suck,and the Pirellis are somewhere in the middle right? Any others? how about the Toyo Proxes? 328bimma, RE730-->Bridgestones? I think I might just go with the Yoks again if they end up costing less than the SO3's.

I'm on my second set of Yokohama AVS Sports and I love them. Way quieter than the Pilot Sports that came with the car and better grip too. My brother had a set of Bridgestone RE730s for a while, don't let the treadware 'rating' fool you, they didn't last at all. The AVS Sports lasted alot longer.

i disagree... i think itz all depend on people's driving style.... my RE730 is lasting me a long time... im not sayin that AVS doesn't last... but the RE730 do last!
