Tire choice
Tire choice I need some new shoes and narrowed the search down to the following three:
P275/40R17 Riken Raptor $552.72
P275/40R17 Falken ZE-512 $612.36
P275/40R17 Kumho ECSTA ASX $667.76
I'm in FL and the car is not a daily driver. Looking for something that's got some dry traction, but not terrible in the rain.
Never been to the drag strip so that's not a big concern. Any advice would be great.
The prices are installed and balanced.

I like the Rikens as a warm weather tire. Ride pretty well, are reasonably sticky and good in the wet. When it gets cold outside, it's a different deal. But FL you're good to go.
I've read a few good things about the Rikens. I'd like to hear from some more folks that own them.

My good friend told me about the Kumho XS... I can get them to fit my stock SS 10 spoke 17x9.5 rim at 285/40/17. I am serious on getting them, they will not last long I am sure... yet looking for rd driven exp. on them!
Anyone ever had them?
