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.

bringing this one back from the dead......

wort, what did you end up choosing and what are your impressions?

I'm looking for 275/40/17's for the evo and I'm choosing to be honest with myself and get tires that fit my average use, rather than what I'd just like to be able to say I'm running.  So, I'll be looking for somethin with a decent treadwear rating (360 and above), all season characteristics (particularly considering the wide nature of the tires), and of course, the budget is a factor as well. 

At this point, I'm looking at Kumho Ecsta ASX's, Continental ContiExtremeContact, Avon
Tech M550 A/S, Sumitomo HTR+, and finally, the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS.  If I had to choose at this moment, I'd go with the Kumhos as I think they'll be comparable to the Supra 712's I've had a lot of experience with, but there seems to be a lot of good offerings out there. 

Anybody with experience care to chime in? I figure tire choice is a crucial decision so I want to have as much information as possible.

After searching around....I ended up going with the Falken GR Beta 415's (on the evo)


Call tires.com, I think he's extension 259 but I could be wrong, ask for brad

The guy gave me a hell of a deal on these falkens

For 402 out the door, I even got the lifetime warranty (you can slash the tire, run over nails, hit curbs....anything) and you get a new tire. You dont even need to ship them the old tire, they just send you a new one. I ordered at like 2pm on wednesday and I had them on friday

Most of you know how I drive, and these tires suit my fancy. I realize they are not F1 tires so they arent going to do everything I ask, but for a complete set for well under 100 per tire, I couldnt go wrong. I had initially wanted the Khumo MX's but tireack had them on backorder for sometime, plus they were 30 more per/tire.
