Default Tires???

Are there any alternative "Read Cheaper" Tire options out there?

the only thing I have come up with is the Kuhmo ECsta MX which are great tires (Had them on my C4) for 253 or so a pop

anyone had any luck with other tires

I don't need them right now but I expect to in the next 18 months or so

Many Thanks!

There are several threads on tires, but I am sure others will help answer your question very soon.

Toyo T1-S's are good tires. Great tires in wet weather and they wear well. I've had them on through 6 to 8K miles and 5 DE's and they are still fine. They are quieter than F1's, taller than F1's, and have rounded shoulders.

My girlfriend says they look more aggressive than F1's.

In my opinion nothing beats the looks of F1's on a Z06.
