Default Good Summer Tire

I need new summer tires for my Accent. I already have winters so it would make more sense to get Summer tires instead of All Seasons. What would you recommend? So many tires out there hyper2.gif

If you're looking for a cheap tire, theres always either Kumho or Nexxen. They're not bad for the price.

Nitto NT05's are what I have on the Mustang. Nitto Invo's are good too as well as Kumho MX's. Falken RT-615's are another option.

I've been happy with my Falken Azenis RT-615's. They are IMO a summer only tire. If it gets cold (below about 40) they are very unpredictable. As long as it's warm though they grip very well and are very predictable and forgiving.

i'm running Kumho MX's on all fours. they're great but a bit slippery in the rain. really i would recommend something cheaper. they do look absolutely great. for some reason, the MX sidewall is wider than others of the same size.
