tire suggestions?

[jesh]

i'm getting ready to get new tires for my P5 and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions? thanks

Yokohama Parada's are great... I couldn't tell much about any other tires on the P5. I had the Yohohama Avid's on my Integra. They were ok, nothing spectacular...

what type of driving are you planning on doing....

i would NEVER get parada's
worst tires ever....

if i know what kind of driving your planning on i can direct you towards the right tire...

just every day driving. i'm looking for a good all weather tire that doesn't have a lot of road noise and performs well when i drive it hard.

the yokohama avs es100s, khumo ecsta supra 712s, both r good examples.

well i would stay away from the es100's ... they are pretty much designed for high mileage performance tire... the two dont mix well... we have had a few complaints from customers about those tires....

the kuhmo is a decent tire for the money but there are many better tires in the market. kumho has problems with the tires getting very choppy once you get past 75% tread....

the tire i would highly reccomend if you dont get snow is the dunlop sp9000... they are great in the rain and have very good dry grip....

do you get a lot of rain / snow where you live?
will you be driving primarily on the highway or city driving?

I dunno... The AVS ES100's I have work great. =) They're extremely temperature sensative, though, so run them hard before you plan on running them hard, so they have time to warm up.

I live in the midwest so we get both rain and snow. The driving is a pretty even mix of city and highway. Thanks a lot
