tires/traction

I have Yokohama AVS sports. I love 'em. They're sticky as hell and they'll last more than 10k miles. I've also had good luck with S-03s and S-02pp's. They cost a little more though. I've also heard good things about Kuhmo MXs. DO NOT get those shitty Kuhmos that every body has. They are shit, and they're heavy as hell. Also, do not get Yokohama A520s. For the most part you get what you pay for in tires. For the money I don't think you'll beat Yoko AVS sports.

Also, jdm_ef8 guy....Sorry man, I wasn't even paying attention. Yokohama doesn't make AVS sports in your size. You could possibly check into some AVS intermediets (sp?) or the Kuhmo MXs I was talking about. I think Falken makes some pretty good tires in that size as well but I'm not sure.

My 1G Talons handled like crap with Goodyear, and other brands of the like. When I put various Yokohama tires, I became a sold customer. I did put some Dunlop sports on my fiancees car once. I was pretty impressed with those to. Right now, I have the new soft composite Yokohamas that come stock on the EVOs......Good God the grip is badass.

I have the new Nitto Neo Gen's and they are extremely grippy and a very road absorbant tire, not to mention the very best wet tire I have ever experienced. I only paid $340 for all four brand new. But I don't think they make them as small as your looking for.
