          I've heard good things about the 712s

          I'm a fan on Nittos
          I'm running 555s, but they're a little pricey, you may want to look at the 450s IMO

            Summitomo HTR+'s for the price. should be cheaper than your 125 a piece.
            also Pirelli P Zero Nero

              www.tirerack.com

              or www.discounttire.com

              Also check a coupel places local, they might be able to match the prices online, and you can save on the ~$40-50 on shipping. But usually they can't...

              example, locally myu 712s, were, $138, $142, $151 at 3 different shops... Online they were $107, and $42 shipping, so in the end I still saved a decent chunk of money buying them online even with shipping.

                i have had some real good luck with bridgestone. i currently have the Bridgestone Potenza RE750
                and they grip awsome. i got mine for 120 a peice for some 245/ 50 R16. and yeah tirerack.com is awsome but then you have to get someone to put them on the rims and balance them, it will proabably be an extra 60-80 dollars to do that for all four.

                  ES100s or if they are too much go Kumgho 712s.

                      I'd say Firehawks, but they're much more expensive than $125 on your size rim [img]smile.gif[/img]

                        if you want the tires to stay on there for a while, i would not suggest sumitumo's, or kuhmo's. i can't say about yokohomas though.

                          I got the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712' also, and LOVE them! Great wet traction as compared to alot of the similarly priced tires too!
