Time for Tires!

Thanks for the info so far guys. I was doing some tire research last night and came across the Yokahama Prada Spec-2 tires which are super aggressive and got better feedback than the ES100's. Anybody have these or know somebody who has them? Supposedly they last longer than the ES100's too.

I have 20K on my Yoko's. They are getting down there, will need to replace in about 10-20K miles. I got them 380 shipped from tires.com with free shipping and some snazzy metal valve stems. Went to the local stealership for mounting, about 70 bucks there.

For a performance tire, I think they are awesome. Performance tires tend not to last a long time. I used to go through other tires in other cars every 20K miles. But for 40K on them like Flat Black has with tead left is great.
 
spoil your car! get Pirrelli P Zero's

if not get cheap ones like Kumho Esta Supra 712's they are ULTRA cheap and work really good! you will slide out of control and die if your on ice though

haven't gotten any good pics w/ the SV. this pic was taken bya friend working corner 1, not the official photog.

What kind of Azenis are we talking about here Captian? I"d like to try 205/45/16, I'm not sure though. Whatever size of that tire that works best with the OEM wheels.

pick any tire from the falken website and the product/part number :) i'll let you know what i can do
 
How about some Azeni St-115's size 205/55R16, those RT-215's look sweet but with the way I drive they wouldn't last a day! You think those would be OK with stock wheels?

awesome choice. i think they would work ok, a little taller and wider. your price is $89 per tire plus shipping.
