More Tire Fun
So I'm still shopping for tires... But I'm getting more and more torn.
I was pretty much set on the PZero Neros... but I've been looking more towards performance tires for AutoX and fun.
So here's what I've been considering:
> BFG g-Force TA KDW II (NT)
--- Excellent reviews and very fair price.
> Nitto NeoGen
--- Found ONE review (???) but great price.
> Toyo Proxies (which one?)
--- Again, no reviews - price depends on T1-R or 4. I don't know which one to get.
So what do you think? I will be wanting good traction - mostly from a summer tire, but would consider an all season if the performance is good enough. But I'd like to keep it under $550 shipped for all 4.

Well... I guess I just wanted some sort of confirmation. That's what I've been leaning to. But was just looking at the others anyways. Just hadn't found much info on them so was avoiding them.
Anyways...
I would have ordered from tires.com but they don't have the 215's... just 225. Would have been a tiny bit cheaper I think, but oh well.
Anyways...

$538 total is not bad, i have hook up with NTB and i only can get them for a little under $500, so not bad deal at all.
but im leaning towards the ADVANs, since i have another set of rims to put the tires on, gonna get them shaved a lil too.

How about:
Hankook Ventus RS-2 are Advan Neova copies and matched their performance in the Car and Driver/Tirerack test. Only $116 for 225/45/17

Ok, but based on what..I am not too excited about Hankook either, but the numbers dont lie and Ive heard nothing but good things about them.
My ideal tire would be the Falken Azenis RT-615, but they arent redily available in 235/40/17 which Im looking to run:
They are going for $120 per tire in 225/45/17: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...02&rd=17&ar=45

based on the fact that my friends run them on their turbo'd integras/hatches
and had nothing but bad things to say for drag/auto-x useage
ill take wut they say becuz they run 11's all day, so if its not working for them
it won't be working for me (granted im not running 11's)
