I need 4 new tires and I do not want to pay too much(lowest price for the best value in fact).

I can get 4 of these for 79$ each on tirerack.

Comments are very good and theyre also rated excellent in different tests.

A yes or a big NO???

Thatis a good dealbutIwould not skimp on the tires considering the mods in your sig . Do some shopping around you can find you some really good tires for that kind of money used . You would be surprised what you can find especially in a 17 .

I had khumo ecsta and the traction was surprisingly very very good. i'm running M/T DR right now and its because I'm planning on doing lil bit of 1/4 mile run, but thats it. My car loves high RPM so I get my power while at higher speed , so harder to make it spin unless I dump the clutch hard.

I'll keep checking...

Thats a pretty good price if thats correct.

Avon's are great tires.. they make the Avon Tech R/A road racing tires.. English based, very good company.

I have the Avon Tech R/A's for road racing, great tire.

Just remember when your chosing the tires they are the only thing holding your car to the ground. Not the place to go cheep, unless they will be your reason not to street race. I've had very bad experiances with my cars and friends cars saying "if i save a little on the tires. . ." Just my .02 cents.

They're good tires. I've had a few friends run them with alot of success. Dont let the price tag fool you and dont let people who are saying "dont go cheap" sway you when they've never tried the tires themselves.

I would absolutely rate them above the Sumitomos, Fuzions, and Rikens that everyone on here swears by for "cheaping out" type tires.

Are you guys serious about these tires??? I need to replace my Falken's (up front) and contemplating which tire to go with. How long do they last for someone who is a tame driver with the occassional romp?

I have the M550s I think. They don't last forever but they hook really good for a 245. I say go for it.

For affordable tires I'd get General UHPs but the Avon Techs aren't bad either.

i just replaced a set of falkens that were shot w/ only 21k miles on them... i got some Continental ContiExtremeContact 275/40/17's for $690 installed w/ road hazard replacement and a 40k mile warrenty at discount tire (theres a shop local here in indiana, so i didnt order them online)... they hook good and seem to hold the road well...

i was going to get some BFG Gforce KDWS for $175 apiece (the continentals were $130) but they were out of stock, and i asked them what would be a long lasting tire that handles good and hooks good and they recommended the continentals, and they seem to be doing great (ive only put like 100 miles on them but i did get stuck in the rain today and i couldnt even tell it was raining by how the car was handling it)

now as long as they last 40k miles ill be happy.

FWIW the continentals were about $9 cheaper per tire than the kumho ASX's and had a longer warrenty (40k vs 30k)

I'd use them; I have Fuzions now which do great for the street, I have Avon Tech R/A's also for the track.. I'd probably replace my Fuzions with those Avon's.

Go for it man.

damn man I paid 175 for KDWs just a month or so ago from discount tire, and I got three rebates ($140) in return

dailydriver

Are you sure these are available in 245/50 16?? Last I checked they were not.

BTW; I have Falken 512s on the car now, and I am VERY disappointed with the wear. They wore out quicker than my BFG KDs, and I drove the Falkens about 1/2 as hard as the KDs!!

I try the Avon M550s next, A LOT less $$$ than the B-stone 960s which would be my other choice.

Thanks guys, but I was too slow on that, the special is over and the tire is no longer available now

79$ for a 275/40R17 tire, I'm sure I'll never see that again

I see them listed as $109 on tirerack.

Hmmm, try tires-easy.com they have some pretty good looking tires for under $80 in a 275-40-17.
