I had the Dunlop SP 8000's on my car before my G-Force T/A's. Granted, my suspension was stock when I had the Dunlops, but I would still go with the G-Force T/A's again if I had to pick.

Its funny you post that, because we experienced the opposite with the Kuhmos on the celica. Very noisy tire, not very good handling either. I am going with the paradas next for the eclipse, I love the way the tread looks on those.

I agree. I had the Nitto 555 on 18's
Now on stock wheels I can say the Yokohama's are great. A little bumpy ride for me but it's a Kung Fu Grip.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-92 (stock): Worst tire ever. Crashed in the rain.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-730: Good all around, great stopping distance, not so good cornering (lateral g's).

Dunlop SP Sport A2: Amazing cornering & lateral G's A+. Follows ruts and grooves BAD. Braking ok, acceleration traction fair.

i'd go with the yokohama's because they're pretty good and pretty cheap. of course, if i had the cash, i'd get the Bridgestone Potenza S-03's.

EDIT: i currently have a set of yokohama avs intermediates. i like them a lot. in september, i needed new tires so i went on tirerack to get a set and they were about to discontinue them and i got a deal: $67 a piece. it was pretty sweet. they wear kind of fast though, my last set i got about 18,000-20,000 miles on them.

spec 2's. I've heard that the kumho's really suck. bad tread wear and not very grippy. Never tried them tho. I am planning on trying parada spec 2's pretty soon.

It all matters on how much you want to spend. If you are on a tight budget, it is hard to beat the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712. You can easily find 16" applications under $100. Of course if you have more funds available, check out the Toyo Proxes, Bridgestone Potenzas, Kumho Victoracer, and Yokohama ES-100, among others.

I would take a look at the AVS ES100. It is the tire above the Parada and is about the same price.
