This isn't really a searchable topic, its more opinion/fact based. I'm getting my suspension and wheel/tire setup this month. What do you guys like as far as tires? I'm lookin' for tires for spring-summer-early fall duration.

I'm using Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. Very pleased with them.

That's right down my alley. I'll look at tiresavings.com. I just gotta find a place that will balance and mount tires that you didn't buy from them.

best tire for the money...using what other metrics? by that, i mean what are you willing to sacrifice? there's durability, traction, quiet ride, etc.

I have Falken Azeni's and they put the Kuhmo Ecsta 712's to shame in terms of handling in wet or dry traction. I believe they're only about $15 more a tire.
