go to www.tirerack.com and put the tire size you need. They have reviews for most of the tires as well as prices.

huh? who you talking to man? and what are you talking about?

kumhos suck a$$! They don't grip! I have them, so I would know how horrible they are!

Top ones don't look bad at all.

if ur looking into something abit more pricey look into Yokahoma's YK series, i think for 17's ud pay less then i pay for custom size 15's. But be expecting to pay in upwords of at least $150 per one tire.

oh my goodness there is another post goin on right now about new tires.... since everybody rides on low pro tires if they got aftermarket rims, and kuhmos are good tires, just not as good as my parada spec 2's ......

ive heard pirellis are good too...... if you want good tires expect to pay around $100 after mount and balance

check out the other thread though

Theres only one company better then Yokahoma and thats Pirelli, if u wanna buy REAL good tires then go to them, but also know they ahve tires that costs in the high hundreds range for one. Yokahoma comes standard on a Lotus, Pirelli comes on a Ferrari.
