This is what i picked so far i am looking not to go over 500.00 on tires but i also need something that can perform with good results

 

all of them will get shredded after a few autox events

 

Go to tire rack

 

Spend a little extra, go for some Toyo T1R's. www.edgeracing.com. Lighter & better performing than most of those that you listed.

 

Why spend so much money on a nice car just to put cheap tires on it? It is the most important part of the car.

 

Go upscale just a bit and get some Falken RT-615s and have your cake and great tires too. They are barely more than those you mention and are the best, quietest, smoothest riding performance tires out there @only $165 for 235/40R18 95W. Made in Japan. Sticks like bubblegum.

 

trying to keep my cost down. I am buying new rims Hp evo hyper black 18 8.5 38 offset.
And i need new tires so i have to comprmise somewhere dwon the road. but you said i can get the falken 615s for 165 a tire which i can pick up since edge raing is in miami.

 

Yea, what he said.

 

Hey what about this tire

Hankook Ventus Rs2 Z212


Tire Description
Hankook has created a tire to compete head-to-head with other popular street-class autocross tires. We have not tested these two (Falken Azenis vs. Hankook Z212) against each other, so we do not have solid track numbers yet. Expect an update on this page soon.
What Hankook says about this tire:
“The Ventus R-S2 Z212 was created from the successful Ventus RSS Z211 racing design, brought to the street with improved road contact surface area for dry traction and a tread design featuring exceptional water dispersion for wet conditions. The result is a street tire delivering maximum grip with proven Ventus Ultra-High Performance tread compound.”
What we think:
This might be the surprise ST Class tire.
They run very wide when compared to other tires the same size.
The tread design looks pretty cool… a lot of rubber at the shoulders for cornering grip and a good amount of space in the center of the tread for water dissipation.

If you have to pick from your list, then Falken Grb Fk451 is the best of the bunch. Otherwise, go with Hankook Ventus RS2 Z212 as suggested. It offers Falken RT-615/Kumho Ecsta MX performance at a fraction of the price. The only issue is that it comes in 225/40/18.
