Dood, just go here www.machiii.net Email them and ask what kind of tires they use for the 16x7 Rota Slipstream package. Right now they have it for 500 bucks shipped to your door (I'm not sure of the tires).

When ur looking @ tires don't pay any attention to the DOT treadwear rating unless your comparing from the same brand tire. Tire companies set their own DOT grades based upon a control tire made by said company.
Which Kumho? Which Toyo?
>> Personall I'd go for the Falken Azenis Sport but they only come in 195/60/14, 205/50/15 I'm not sure what 16" sizes they have but they stick like glue, look better than Yok Parada's and cost less than any others you have mentioned.

I have a set of Toyo Proxes 4 and they are great tires. Little expensive but I think better than Hankook.

I got Toyo Proxies and I love them. I actually lost 0.30sec on my quarter mile as opposted to stock tires.
