Ok, time to start picking tires for the new shoes. Of course, size is going to be 215/35-18. What we're looking for is outstanding dry traction, as good as it gets for the tire series wet traction, and good cornering abilities. Now.......
Originally we were looking at the Yokohama Parada Spec-2. But, the lack of wet traction turned us off to those. While perusing around, I happened to stumble across the following tire: Linky To Tire -- Now, don't let the fact that it's a General tire scare you off. It's rated #1 in category just ahead of the BFG g-Force T/A KDW2, which is our other choice right now at almost twice the price. The General gives up a little cornering and turn-in stability to the g-Force, but makes up for it with wet traction and ride noise/comfort. So......$86 each for the General Exclaim UHP, or $159 each for the KDW2's. For a comparison LOOK HERE. -------------------- |

Just for thought... I have been real impressed with the Fuzion ZRi tires that I put on my car. They handle really well in dry and wet and have a good sidewall that takes turns real well. Prices are good too. with the size you are looking at is $119. They are definately the best handling tire I've had. Just my two cents.
