    Default Best tire deals?

    Who has the best deals on some new tires?

    I am thinking of some Azenis, unless you guys can recommend something better.
    I am looking for some sticky tires, i am tired of these push all over the place ES100's, and besides I finally wore them out....only took a year and a half..lol.

    Thanks for the recommendations in advance.

    Sounds to me like you need an alignment and some driving school or are riding on some bald ass tyres! I loved the set of ES100's I had when they first came out. Not bad on the tread life you got out of them btw!

    Oh yeah, Edge Racing has some great deals. They have the tire I'm using for daily use for $50 each for 15" - Falken Ziex 512. Nice tire, good all around performance tire with long tread wear.
    90 MX5 281k miles! - euro spec, Porsche Riviera Blue w/black hardtop, 97 motor swap, vintage Borbet rims, GC, FM shock hats/frame rails/rear sub-brace, AGX, sway bar, stb, Fidanza/ACT combo, EBC Yellows

    92 COMMA SM - new paint coming soon...

    I dont know what it is with these tires but a lot of folks out at Gary's have told me they had the same experience with their ES's (ie turn the wheel the car goes straight), happens to me turning a U-turn from a dead stop and has since after the first couple thousand miles.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Toyos.

    I did use the Icehawk #'s last allignment, maybe will go with the lanny #'s this time....it was pretty extreme.

    Can't disagree with him for a change. I don't think you can get a better performance/price combo...

    Hehe I know I just checked them too. What size were you looking at?
    Me 225/45/17

    At least $135 is still better than the $180 for the stock crappy Michelins.

    I am probably going with the same; I just hope they don't wear too fast. Edgeracing has them a little cheaper.

    well I worked it out with them and am getting,
    Falken Hanabi wheels in anodized silver, and Azenis RT615's

    got a good look at the rims today and they are severely bent throughout.

    should have the new stuff in about 4 days

    Very nice.
    Now the question becomes, are they going to stay silver?

    Well, eventually I am going to paint the car Orange with black flames,
    So I will likely have either Orange or Black wheels
    I also plan on adding ground effects, the racing beat spoiler, and a TDR air splitter and the original nose with HID's
    I also plan on turning the entire interior Black with Orange accents.
    and that will about do it....this after the SC/IC installation,fuel pump and gauges.



    unless I change my mind
