Looking for affordable tires to replace my Kumho Supra 712's
What do you recommend for stock wheels. No driving in snow.
I'm looking at Potenza S03's, but they are a little too expensive. What are people's opinions on the Kumho MX tires?

I'm looking for 205 tires. I'd like to have something better than the Kumho 712's. They aren't bad, but after running Potenza S03's on the S4 I would like something a little better. I expect some noise, but the 712's seem to be very loud.. especially after they wear in some. I had them on my GSR and my wife's old Tiburon (thank God that's gone) and they were noisy on both of those cars. Anyway, thanks for the input.

ES100s are good tires, but mine have been VERY loud as of late. I've got roughly 20k miles on them (no autox or track events). They grip well, have a decently stiff sidewall, and are really good in the rain. I speak from experience in saying that you won't get anywhere if you try to run them in the snow.Trey wrote:Yoko ES100 has been great tire. No noise. WAY better than 712.
These will become track tires and I will give the MXs a try sometime this year.

Stick with the 712's for a street tire that is safe & cheap...
I can't imagine you're concerned with performance/handling of the tire if you are concerned about the 'noise'.
Has anyone tried the Falken Ziex for an all-season? I bought a beater this year, or I was going to try those for around town/winter.

Interesting - I talked my brother into buying them for his honda, but he sold the damn car 3 weeks later, so I never heard any impressions. I think I'll try them on my beater next fall.George Knighton wrote:I have them on my EP3 daily driver.BudMan wrote:Has anyone tried the Falken Ziex for an all-season?

Very good buy, and very good handling for an all season tyre.
