I will probably be getting new tires in ths spring. I go through them really quick. Out of these six, which would you prefer? They're all Toyo's. Click on performance tires to your left.

We used to sell Toyos at Auburn Tire II and I never cared for them. Any particular reason you want Toyos? I am far from a tire expert, and we never sold any Toyo performance tires that I know of, so I might be off base, but they seemed like a sub-par brand to me.

The Toyo Proxy T1-S's are the only ones that are worth a crap. But personally if you are going to spend money on those, there is better. I'm not a big fan of Toyo's either.

Something new I guess.

I would look into something else as well. What are your requirements in terms of performance and tread life?

Try www.discounttiredirect.com, that's where I got my Falken Azenis's for $84/tire shipped. They have a pretty good selection and shipping is free, so that will help.

I used to have these on my old cars and no other tire I ever had performed the same as these

These are bad ass tires! They are supposed to do better in the dry and almost as well in the wet as SO-3's.

I can't imagine how well the KD's perform. The KDW's are second in line. If I had the choice and the money I would get the KD's. The KD's are $172 a tire for my car. The KDW's are like $99 a tire.

Ummm...no. :wink:

I think the KDW's might be what you are looking for. You can also try looking at Potenza RE730's.

By the way SO-3's rock. They are only $79 a tire in my size. Gotta love rolling on 15" dubs.

I've got the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's on my car and they are 10 times better than the Michelin Pilot XGT Z4's that came with the car. I got em from tire rack for about $95 a pop and another $20 at Walmart (a friend worked there) to get em mounted and balanced. More than likely, I'll get the same thing when it's time for more tires.

712's are a good choice for a tire that grips decent and will last a while. There are better alternatives when it comes to grip but the 712's are priced pretty decent for what they deliver.
