New tires

[chadder]

Im lookin into new tires right now, cause my crappy Futura GLsomethin POS's are pretty bald. i have searched and not really found an answer, Ive been checking out Kumo Ecsta Supra 712's, but i hear that they dont hook up well at all, and then i have also heard that they hook up well but they dont turn well...im soo confused...BASICALLY im lookin for a tire under 100$ a pop, hooks up well with good treadware. Corner performance isnt as important as straight line to me [img]smile.gif[/img] and i live in texas, every day is summer here [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img]

All rated above 8.0 under 100 bucks and either max performance summer (the first 2) or Ultra High Performance All-Season (the kumho)

Under $100 in 255/50/16 (the size I use) is slim pickings except for Kumho.

I have Fulda Extremo's (huh?).

I just got the Fuzion ZRi's. They are cheap and are really good. I like them alot.

P245/50R16 ES100 Yokohamas. Very sticky nice tires, good treadwear for something so stick (30K miles).

How much tire life do you need?

[chadder]

30k sounds good. The ones ive got have only around 10k on them but im pretty tough on them...so i guess its all relative...i will definitely be lookin at the yokos. thanks guys!

I couldn't hook on the 712's but for the cost its a tough choice. They did handle great. They were my first set of "better tires" When I bought my 18's although I was using 245/40/18's which is probally why I couldn't hook well on them.
