what kinda tires do you guys recommend? 17x7 rim - prolly gonna get 215/45/17 again. the last set i bought was Kumho supra ecsta's. they were not bad, though one of them developed a small bubble about a year later. it lasted til now (tread almost gone) even though i prolly should've changed it sooner. i live in hawaii so summer tires are fine.

what are you looking for>? long wear? good grip? a little of both? comfort? better handling?

dunlop sp sport fm255/40zr18 is what i got they have been the beast iv use next to bfg g-frce

I personally would recommend against Kumho... nobody I know has liked theirs

Goodyear Eagle F1s are available in a ton of sizes, cost not that much, and win every tire comparison they enter for the best balance of dry grip, wet grip, noise, wear, and overall handling feel... I like my Yokohama Parada Spec 2s and love the tread pattern, and they rock in the dry, but suck in the wet and are noisy.

if anyone needs new tires in a 215/45/17 size tire rack has an awesome deal on the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.. they're one of the top rated tires on their site and the number 1 rated tire in Car and Driver's testing of all the top summer performance tires.

They're goin for $88 each which is like $70 off the regular price.

I don't know if they are still around, but I used to have some Phantom HRX's in 225/45/17... those things kicked ass, but they were noisy.

Now I have some Hankook Ventus HRII (forgot the number after that)... Cheap and nice and quiet.... decent tire if you want cheap at www.edgeracing.com

I use Cooper Zeon 2xS. They have a short live span around 180-200 but AA Trac and AA Temp. They are amazing tires and I have never rolled the tire over when autocrossing. about $95 a tire. On my second set and I have really enjoyed them. My only complaint is I feel there is quite abit of road noise compared to other tires...
