The Toyo Proxes FZ4's were the worst tires I've ever had. They wore out in under 5 months, gripped awful, and were too expensive for the quality.
I now have Falken Ziex 512's allseason performance tires and they're much better. I recommend them, especially since they're $80 a piece on discounttiredirect.com in 205/50/16's.

 

Has anybody have the Yokohama Prada Spec 2? The rating seems pretty high and is recommended. Not bad for $97 a tire 205/45/17 :thumbup:

 

yes, I thought they were pretty good. no complaints that I can think of, but not the best overall.

 

I love my Kumho 712's. Sticky, average road noise, good treadlife, good in the wet and most importantly, no problems whatsoever.

over the years I've had Yoko Avid H4's, (blah!!! the words high performance and all season are a really bad combination) and Dunlop SP fm901's and they were really good, sticky tires, just like the Kumho's.

I'd say give your wallet a break and get the Kumho's, unless you're auto-x'ing. Besides, having Kumho's keeps my urge to get stickers/decals in check because I don't want non car people (morons) commenting or asking me where the cum hoe is every time I stop for gas.....





















Is this thing on????

 

I've used Falken FK-451 on my ride - 215/40/18
It's a good tire especially in dry conditions and does fine in wet too. But note - I'm not much of a "spirited" driver....so I haven't realy pushed them to their limits. The noise level is low and ride comfort is alright.....only downside was, its a summer tire and therefore has 0% traction in snow.

The tread-wear on them is good, lasted me 20k or so.....the front 2 tires have camber wear on them now but the rear tires still have about 40% tread left on them....so I would say that each could last as long as 30k....with regualr rotation.

I'm planning on going with a full set of Kumho Ecsta 712 for this season 225/40/18....I've heard great reviews about them, and after extensive research they seem to be the best bang for buck and most suited for my application. I've a couple friends who use the Kumhos and the ride in their cars is comfy and quiet.

As long as it's for daily commute like me, then I'd highly recommend these tires for their value.

 

LOL
never heard that one before

:chuckles:
