Tires
 

Hey guys and girls,
My tires are down to their last leg so it's time for some new ones. I am looking not only at replacing them with the Stock Dunlop 5000's but I am also considering the TOYO TPT, and the Kumho 711. I don't know much about tires so I am looking for some opinions.

If anyone has any experience with these tires please let me know, and any suggestions would be appreciated.

FYI I live in Canada and i already know that the Dunlops suck hard in the rain and snow.

The Kumho Ecsta 712's are pretty good for their price.
I got hooked up for $75 (US) per tire.

Either Kumho Ecsta 712's or....youre gonna laugh at me and i know youll say "I aint buyin' that crap!" but....

I bought a set of Mastercraft Avenger HPZ 205/45VR16's and except for wishing i had got 45 series instead of 50 series tyres, i LOVE THESE Tires! No kidding!! These are made by Cooper tire co. and are actually Avon ZZ3 Tyres except for they are V-rated instead of Z-rated. If you go to the Cooper tires web site www.coopertires.com and look at the mastercraft avenger HPZ and the Avon ZZ3 (i think thats the tyre code-youll see it though), youll see that they have the EXACT same tread pattern-exact.

This tire sticks like i cant believe and even in wet weather too! I still havent found the limit for these tires as i cant push them hard enough on public roads around my house. They retail for about what the Kumho's run. BTW, ig you get ehse tyres (or any tyre for that matter), get a 45 series tire! IT looks better on a 16 inch wheel IMHO.

Also, look at/for, Nankang, Hankook(another new and good Korean tyre co.), sumitomo and the one i mentioned above.

Try Dunlop FM901 also. They come in 195/50 R16, the same size as OEM. I heard they very good and are cheap too. However these are summer tires so if you live in areas that see a fair amount of snow switch back to all seasons in winter or get some winter tires.
