The Fz4's aren't Toyo's highest performance tires. Toyo does make excellent tires, but they do cost you. For driving on the street, it's hard to beat the value you get from Kumho or Yokohama.

I remember you said those were really good. How do they compare cost wise?

come to think of it, how many people put on big sidewall tires are a race tire when their "street" tire is a 205-45ZR16 Kuhmo 712?

i wish i would have them by this weekend, as ive got over 500 miles going on the car this weekend alone.

Ya dude, better keep those Falkens on ice....every second counts!
