Default Which tire for new wheels
I have new mallet style wheels and need new tires. The vendor recomend 265/35/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rear. I found three tires that I'm considering buying. 1. Toyo Proxes T1-S 2. Kuhmo Ecsta MX 3. Yokohama AVS sport Which ones do you guys recommend? These are all priced close to the same so I need some input to feel like I'm making an educated guess at which is the best decision. :confused:

Kumhos are a geat bang for the buck. Check the comparisons at http://www.tirerack.com. I'm on my second pair. (Tons of roadcourse time) and really like the balance of dry and wet handling.
