    need new tires for around $110 225/45/17

    there are so many tires to choose from and i dont know which one, i drive fast round corners, and occationally go 120 but not into street racing so i dont need the off the line traction as much. I was looking at the Kumho
    ECSTA Supra 712, Dunlop SP Sport FM901, Yokohama AVS ES100 and i dont care 2 much about tread life.

    I have the khumo 711 225/45, so far they're holding up on hard cornering and speeds up to 100 ( haven't gone past 100 yet). I got them for 70 bucks a pop and I believe they have a better thread wear the the 712s, I think they're rated at 380 or something like that.

    I just bought 4 Hankook Ventus Plus 225/45/ZR17 all for 388 shipped(free shipping on this site....took 2 days to get here. They handle awesome. They have this big groove in the middle, almost like aquatreads. They are a low profile tire...http://www.discounttiredirect.com/ It's worth checking out...
    I had a 2001 Dover Pearl White Galant GTZ totaled it in 04

    I had Khumo Ecsta's with the "V" tread pattern. They were Z rated and handled/ cornered like it was on rails. However, they wore out quick and got very noisy!! (unbearably) If you want a tire that lasts I would not recommend these... (got rid of mine at 20K miles)
