    I always recommend either Toyo, BFG, or Kumho.

    I have Pirrellis 16s on but it's a tad on the high price side. Almost all tire brands have their ups and downs on which products suits you best. I'd say go to your local tire merchant and research which tire fits your daily need.

    I've driven hundreds of cars with Toyo tires. I ran two sets of Kumho Ecsta 711s on my Galant before I wrecked it.

    Kumho is a good buy if your on a budget.

    Toyo is well priced and you get top notch performance.

    BFG makes some really cool tread designs and have great availibility for custom fitments.

    (P.S. I sell tires.)

    When I get another Galant I'll have Toyo Proxes 4 wrapping some high end wheels.

    i've run nothing but yokahama tires on any of my cars or any other member of my family's cars.
    they cost a little more, but they perform solid.

    they actually last a while if you aren't trying to destroy them.
    and my favorite characteristic of yokahama tires, is that most every model is quiet as can be.
    i've run the avid H4s on two of my cars. and the AVSdb on the diamante... now thats a badass tire. one of the quietest on the road.

    I loved my Falken Azenis tires, and they were a steal for the price, but they didn't last too long.
    Now I have BFG G-Force sport, and I like them so far, esp. on wet roads. And they are still not expensive, $101/tire R17
    If I wasn't on the budget, I'd most likely gone with Toyo

    I've got Toyo Proxes 4's on my G now. With the exception of being slightly noisy, they handle like a dream. I've had two sets of Kuhmo Ecstas, and both have had sidewall failures. Good economical tires, but you get what you pay for....

    I have falkens too. But I have the Ziex ZE512 with a 360 treadwear...so they last a while. I paye $74 per tire for 215/45 17's. Falkens are my vote

    TOYO PROXES FZ4 225/35zr19... might upsize to TOYO PROXES 4 235/35zr19 when these go bad.

    actually was doing more research... what tires are available in 245/30zr19?

    I have Toyo Proxes 4, its a good tire. I had Kumho before and the sidewall was notorious for getting bubbles.

    Another tire I had before the Toyos was Yokohama Parada Spec2. That tire is very good also! It had great grip but the treadlife went pretty quick.

    Can you please post these threads in the right forums?

    Perhaps "Wheels, Tires & Brakes" forum? For crying out loud.

    I'm on my second set of Yokohama Parada spec 2 tires and the are great. I did not have any problems with them wearing out too quickly.

    Im on a budget so the the Kumho 711 and 712s did quite well on the wee little sentra and 323 that i had.
    Still rolling on the stock bfg's right now(8G). I have no idea what kind ill get once I grab my wheels.
