Default While we are on the tire topic...

I am looking for some tires to put on my 17 inch Fittipaldi's. the wheels in my sig are my dad's 17's with 235/40/17's, but you can see how the wheel well looks a little weird with the suspension not being lowered. should i go with 45's or 50's?

Any recommendations for a good all weather tire with decent performance. I think i'm going for z rated.

the cheaper the better of course!

Default Kuhmos are a good deal for the money.

Tires: go for Kuhmo 712s. Darn good deal for the money (~$80 each). As for sidewall, what is the correct plus 2 tire size for your car? You can find out for sure on the Tirerack website.

Default Hankook is good too

I've had the Ventus HRII 405's on my car now for about 6K miles and they're great. They performed incredibly at the track and the wet traction is excellent. $104.00 M&B from discount tire. 235/40/18

Default The Yoko AVS ES100s are great for the price

They are a little more than the others mentioned at $113 a tire at Tire Rack. The tires grip very well in the wet and dry.

Default Those are the same tires that dad has on his...

He said that they are pretty kick but for the price. But i think that i am going to get the 235/45/17's they should fit the wheel well pretty good.

Default 2nd that....

I've had them on for over 10k and they are still running strong... time to replace them soon, but I liked them.
