i think i seen your car at 50th street before. do you have the 16" wheels too still? are you on the Bush or Vinson? i have to park at the GE warehouse, so you will likely not see me drive my 8 there. my other car is a burgundy 240SX with an oxidized paintjob and CF hood that you might see there.

not to be thread jacking...but i was wondering which tires people are running around here. i just failed the state inspection due to worn tires and need to replace them within the next two weeks...

any suggestions? preferably, something that isn't too expensive with decent tread life.

kumho ecsta MX are good for summer they are quiet and DEEP tread pattern(I got 25k miles out of mine driving the crap out of them hard corners and spinning), if going year round kumho ecsta AST is good all weather with good holding from my experience. Right now I have Toyo Proxes on and they do not grab at all in the rain, im terrified of if it might snow here.

chime in guys help a brotha out

I agree with the MX's being a good choice if you want something under $500 a set. I'm running Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions, which are great but are about $100 more per tire. I'll probably get the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs when these wear down later this year.

Look at Tire Rack's tire surveys for a broader comparison.
