Tires tires, what to get? Options

[wortdog]

I'm in need of new tires for the Talon, the OEM Goodyears are quite toasted.

Does anybody have a good stock size tire they'd recommend?

I was looking at maybe the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS, the Continental
ContiExtremeContact, the Kumho ECSTA KH11, or the Kumho
Ecsta MX.

Last year, before I put new tires on the Talon I gave quite a bit of thought to this subject. I had myself set on a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sports which are a quite nice high performance summer tire with great dry and wet traction benefits. As I recall, they were better than the Ecsta Supra 712s and well within budget. They aren't all seasons but from the tread design they don't look like they'd be all that bad. Of course though, my choice was aimed at summer only selections since I try not to drive it in the winter.

Now, I actually decided on a totally different tire. It is an all season and I've actually only lost traction once (in the wet) and it was for a brief second. I also know that Lawrence (the one with the white EVO) has these on his car and he said that he's not afraid to test the limits of his car while in the wet with these tires. They are the Falken Ziex ZE 512, which is the same one Mark had.

Directly from my sidewall:
Treadwear 360
Traction A
Temperature A

I've got the 225/45ZR17 tires on my car and I love them. Even launching at 5500rpms at SCDC on an ACT 2600 and those tires I couldn't get one to spin.

All for the measly price of $450 mounted and balanced.
