I need new tires and I tried to search for threads on tires but almost everything listed are people wanting to sell there OE setup.

Anyways, this is what I need(Decent tire for limited autocross):


Treadware = 18,000 miles but no more than 25 K miles (That way I dont have to wait so long to change them if I dont like them)

Size = 245/40/18's (Any trouble running this size?)

Basically a good performing tire in the price range of $125 to $150. So far these are the candidates...

Kumho MX
Falcon RT-615 (I heard a lot of good things but may not last 18 k miles)
Kumho SPT

What do you all think? I am ordering the tires today but I have no experience with any of them and need some help.

Thanks!

 

Bumpitty bump

 

I have Kumho MX's and so far they've proven to be a GREAT tire! The traction on them is fantastic and they're not very noisy.

 

How many miles do you have on them? How much tread is left?

 

less then 3,000 miles on them. plenty of tread left

 

Bump...Please I need suggestions for other tires.

 

take a look at the Toyo R1's. Very popular, very good tire. (little pricier though)

 

I tried to look for them on Tirerack.com but I dont see them.

 

tirerack doesn't sell them. Try going straight to toyotires.com

 

Well thats a little pricier than I wanted...

245/40/18's = $250

 

look at this

I think I finally decided to go with the Kum - Hoe's...LMAO!!

Kumho MX's seem to be the best bang for my buck no matter what I look up. I checked out the Toyo's but could not locate on reviews for them so I basically would have to go one the 1 persons word that they are good.

Anyways, thanks guys! If I get them soon I will make sure to post a pic or 2.

 

www.edgeracing.com. And they are located in Miami, FL. I got my Toyo's from them. I really like them, and they have great treadwear. Personally I think the traction is a bit better then the Kumho's.

 

The RA1 is a world difference over hte Kuhmo MX or Falken Azenis, the T1s on the other hand are kinda trashy in comparsion
