anyone else have any recommendations for people on a budget just looking for treadlife???
I'm a bit stuck b/t proxes and nero's.. looking for max treadlife and comfort, before performance.

Rated for 139mph I really doubt any of you would ever go over that speed in your speed (headshake Now, if this was a sportbike I would have the best tire possible, but I don't push my MSP to it's limits; it really doesn't matter what tire I put on it...
After riding sportbikes (which I retired from ) for so long I really don't get that "I'm hauling ass" feeling out of a car. There is so much more of a rush being on sportbike at real high speeds. This is why I will just baby my car and drive it normal with a few fun turns here and there...

Kumho 712's but don't expect to get more than about 2 seasons on them before they are shot. They are going for about 250 per set plus mounting. I had them on my Accord for a while.

Man, I may have to get a set of these for now. Do they come in size 215/45/17 or was this for a diff. kind of car.. I don't want to change to a 205 , so that can't work. I'm gonna have to check to see if they are running those on special down here. As of right now I'm trying to buy 4 of the PZeroNero's. But I may lower my sex appeal and get these, since moneys tight right now...

the AVS ES100's are much better than the Kumho 712's......I think I will be getting the Yok's instead of the Dunlop FM901's next time around.

FYI I used to have these tires and they're mediocre in rain and worthless in snow... decent on dry though
you get what you pay for... they're cheap and they're ok
