I put the yokohama something or others (h4 or something) on the red car I sold him, and now they are on the black car, I found them to be damm good tires for the price (225/50/16, something like $500 installed). On the stealth I am currently running a 245/45/17 contentinental extreme contract bs..i don't like them, this summer i'll be switching to a 265/40/17 bridgestone potenza re750.
andy, what are those tires called I can't remember (the ones on the talon)?
I've had experience with nitto 450's, they suck :razz2:

Don't get Cum-Ho tires.....as the name implies, they suck a lot of dick. Then again, so do most Toyo's and Nitto's (with the exception being the 555's). For those of you who don't know, Nitto is Toyo's cheap line of tires...and cheap they are. Nitto probably has more quality control issues than any other tire company. I know that the majority of 450 owners have had a tire buldge at one time or another. The Sumitomo's are the tire of choice up here with the Duluth-DSMers, we all love 'em and swear by 'em for the price. Do you your research and get the best tire you can within your budget. If you are by chance interested in my 17" GSX wheels, let me know...I am looking to get something different.

I hear the Yokohama Paradas spec2 are good i was gonna get them but tires plus ran out of them, I want to try the new Neo Gen tire http://www.nittotire.com/tires_neogen.asp

I got niches (Ugly as balls!) which came with the car... I got 235's on them.. There HUGE! anyway if you want pure traction go with them :) O i got AWD though so that helps me. They weigh 30 pounds a peice though! (the rims). Go rota with some nice tires.

[Kracka]

Paradas are not the greatest tire...they are meant more for show than performance. The NeoGen tires are meant for lowered Hondas with bad camber...no reason to be on a DSM if you do stuff right.

I have the Kumho MX's and love them. They are extremely sticky and handle great. Pretty decent in the rain until 1/2 wore, then gets a little worse. Nothing bad though. The 712's are crap though. The P7000 or T1S would be my pick if they can't get the MX's.

I have Yoko YK420 (whatever that is)...they are all-season. I love them. They are great in the winter and in rain, but having awd helps alot. I highly recommend them and Discount Tire usually has them in stock.

Tom - do not ever, ever, ever, ever, ever go to Tires Plus. Trust me.

I just bought some Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tires for my new GSX. They'll show up tomorrow. I'm kind of pumped!!

Bring on the snow!!!

One of our MN 3/S members work at a Tires Plus, so I get all my tires mounted there. I love having someone I trust handle them. Otherwise, I'd stear clear of other Tires Plus shops.

later,
Curt
