NEED help picking out a good tire What should i get?

[ranivus]

Okay my toyo's have about 40,000 miles on it. My ep3 has about 25,000 miles, my cousin sold me her 18's for 600 bux good deal .

Anyways i've practically balded the suns uva b1tches and i was looking for a new set of "shoes". I went to my local big o tire/discount tire/goodyear tire store and looked at the prices of 4 tires:

Pirelli P-Zero Nero's @ about $180 ea.
Yokohama Prada Spec 2's @ about $180 ea.
Nitto NeoGen ZR's @ about $150 ea.
Falken Azenis @ about $130 ea.

these are for a 215/35ZR 18 tire. They are a lil bit high than what i bought my toyo FZ-4's but im sure they're all better than my noisy ass no-grip toyo's

I have cooper zeon 2xs 215/40/17 and couldnt be happier awesome handeling and the price was right. Might want to give those a look

Yokohama. They make sweet tires. I don't have the ones you want, but the ones i have I'm very happy with.

falken , cheap, affordable and very good tires

[tcostello3]

Toyo Proxies FZ4 (Excellent All-Season Performance), Proxies 4(Official S.C.C.A. Tire), or Proxies TS-1

Best = Bridgestone Potenza S03 "Pole Position"

Well I had Falken Azenis like 5x since I owned an EP on 15's don't get me wrong it's really good tires, very grippy,and affordable, that's if you don't mind changing tires every 3 months or so... depends how much you drive, camber and alignment. but IMO you should get a set of yoko parada spec 2 cause I have em' on 16 and I like it alot! ;)

Also, how about the noise? My buddy has a Type S and he says the perellis are really quiet and they dont sound like your parking an airplane not like the toyo's and the Falkiens

[hamlet9634]

falkens are the grippiest tire you're going to get that's not R compound.. if you drive hard and want near-race tires.. get the falken azenis..
the trouble with them is that they're loud and they're scary in the rain, and they wear out fast

do NOT, i repeat.. do NOT get the paradas... they are TERRIBLE. They are absolutely worthless in wet weather ( i mean they don't even go straight).. they're not very sticky in dry weather..

i don't have personal experience with the others..

Also check out the Yokohama ES100's. They have pretty good dry weather grip, are super nice in the rain, and are very quiet as well. Shouldn't cost too much either.

I have them on 16" Circuit 8's and love 'em! Plus, I've driven a few of the TL A-Spec cars which have the ES100's mounted on 18's and they were very nice. I'd strongly consider them...

you live in vegas, it doesn't really rain there right? so get the azenis

Those...or Khumo MX's......both VERY grippy...but don't last long.

I voted for the Azenis. Reason= I have them on my EP and my uddy on his RSX Type-S and we do not screech as much as you would on stock tires (Michelin Pilots) launching, or going into second gear.

I have the Toyo Proxes FZ4's for daily driving, 17". Good all around tire, quiet, decent in the corners. I've been using Azenis on 16" slips for auto-x and they're awesome for that.

I forget what issue it was, but Sport Compact Car (a few months back) called the Parada Spec 2 overrated. Bad treadware, no traction. . .why buy 'em. Don't get me wrong, it's just something I read, I've never owned a set.

you can go wrong with the falkens

CAN or Can't ? 'Cause I RACE on the Azenis....and I love them. So....
