my tire debate

[Gambino]

Hey guys. Since I got my rims last night I will probably be ordering some tires today. I want some opinions from you guys on my choices I have it narrowed down to. I will be getting 225/40r18. I narrowed it down to Nitto Neo Gen, Toyo T1S, and Toyo T1R. Opinions? My current thoughts are buying whichever I can get for cheapest.

I know its not on your list but i just got ECSTA ASX tired and they are AMAZING. never felt this much grip on a tire before. highly recommend it. I dont know what the price is for the ones you are looking for but mine were $81 on special at tirerack.com

i have actually heard bad stuff about those tires. Anybody else have experience with them? Because that is much cheaper than any of my choices so I am not ruling it out

really? not in this forum though... i did quite a bit of talking and researching around here and i think i may have received one ok comment and everyone else gave it great compliments. I think they are awesome,i seriously will buy them over and over again. love the grip, not noisy at all, oh heaven. (kissass)

[Gambino]

well, I will throw them in the mix too I guess! mostly because that 420 treadwear is so damn attractive to me

The Ecsta ASXs, IMHO, are the best replacement tire for those crummy stock Goodyears that come on the s models. You can spend more money than what the ASXs cost, but you won't necessarily be getting a better tire.

I sent this in PM but I figured I would post it here for everyone to see, too.

I have ZERO complaints about the Ecsta ASX. They're good in snow, rain, dry, gravel, whatever. 100% better than the Badyears PLUS better treadwear.

Get 'em. You won't be disappointed.

[Gambino]

man, you guys seem very set on the fact that these are the best for the money.....I may very well end up with these on my car by this weekend.....thanks

[ZoomVT]

I just got my rims and tires done Tuesday and they are sweet, I got the ZRi's and they ride really nice. Great tire for the price I'm very happy with it.

[MSP#735]

you dont happen to have any pics of the tries do you? also, how much did you pay for them?? im gonna be looking to get 215/45/17.... thanks for the input!!!

[IMC Mazda Axela]

I don't have pics yet gonna try to get some tomorrow afternoon at work and post when I get home but I got them for $66 a tire I also know the guy who got them for me so he may have hooked the price up a little I think they go for like $70 to $75 dollars a tire normal.

Here are the pics I got today of my car and the rims and tires got some close ups. The red P5 is my boy Joe Mo hes on the board too.

Its wiring from my system power and ground and also wiring from one of my balasts for my HID's. It looks better with the top on there but I have it off in the summer cause it gets to hot and doesn't let the balast or the battery breathe.

damn those tires DO look good.....hehe damn, one more to add to the ongoing list...toyos proxes4 or Fuzion ZRi...grrrr
