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. -------------------- Eric Wort

Well, its not a track car (or even an Auto-X car) by any stretch. It still has the stock suspension with I believe the original or nearly original shocks. So I'm mostly looking for an all season tire that doesn't have tons of sidewall flex while retaining decent treadlife. Since this is my winter car, I'm giving some extra weighting to snow traction also. Winter is definately the car's favorite season
 I was mostly commenting on how crappy MY Goodyears are, they have as much cornering grip as an average minivan tire. But, you're right, they certainly don't help much for autocrossing, assuming you have the OEM Goodyear RS-A. -------------------- Eric Wort
