your not gonna be competing for time on a race track so buy the cheap tiers, save the money and spend the it on something else you want for the car. plus if you buy expensive tiers you will feel bad when you wear them out/or get a flat.

i honestly dont prefer any of those tire brands even though i run falken 512s. a lot of people hate this tire and has had bad luck but i have these of my 951 fuchs and my twist. and i love them very grippy and i cant roast them from time to time and still have massive amounts of meat left and great in the rain =D which is IMHO one key in finding a good tire. but get this over with and buy some pilot sports haha

If I listen to Michael and get 512's ==== Total cost $368
I feel like it'd be worth it to pitch in an extra 35 bucks for those Kuhmo's.

Sorry about all the multi-posting...
After further research, these Kuhmo's look BADASS! Best tread rating, 40,000 mile warranty, etc...

Whatever you do, do not get the Evo v12's, worst tire ever for a 944 with any sort of suspension. Scary lose and soft in the sidewalls. I took them back for a set of dunlop direzza z1 star specs, and now all is well in my world.

Oh AND I might be getting a job at discount tire in the next few weeks. If I do, I'll have employee discount too. D.T. doesn't carry Falkens...

i was going to suggest since you live in a warm area year round, toyo r888. good contact patch, good grip, great for track use, not bad on pricing
if you really are wanting to keep yourself strained in the money department, i like nexan or cooper. great tires, good grip, all season use.

My two factors are cost and tread wear/miles I can get on them. Kuhmo's still on top for both those categories...

What a rip! I just priced Bridgestone Somethings at Costco a week or so ago and it was going to be just over a grand! They even put N2 in them! Such a deal! I guess I'm going to do a border run this summer. Less than 500? Rats.
The 500 saved will give me a nice weekend in somewhere like Stowe instead of giving it to the criminals here.

We always get the proverbial shaft up here. I figured I did alright with my BFG G Force Super Sports for $850.00 installed/balanced with chrome valvestems. 225/50/16 and 205/55/16. Nice tires though.
