Princeton,
i need new tires, got a awd car so I'm thinking some radial ta's I heard they are a very good all round tire. I want good ones but not real expensive ones that wear down real quick and yeah fit one the stock 16 inch rims.
 
Kuhmo Escta 712's are excellent tires and are very inexpensive.

Later
 
I swear by the Kuhmo's. Use 'em up front since they grip the best. Use Parada's out back to get the rear to slide just a little. The Parada's are a little more expensive though ($30 a tire I think). Just don't put Parada's on the front, they don't turn worth a damn.
 
would the ECSTA Supra 712 do anything in the snow or will i just slide down the road?
 
how about potenze S-03's??? i have them for a while, and i love them!!
 
what would be the best size tire to put on 17X7 racing hart c5? I want to get the widest tire that i wouldnt have any rubbing or turning problems.
 
i'm not sure about the tires for your rims, but i have 225/45/17's on my stock gsx rims. hope it helps at least a little...
 
225 is as wide as you'll get and clear everything without modification. As for Kuhmo's in the snow....bad idea. I can't say they won't work, but I really doubt it. My Kuhmo's got clogged pretty quick the last time I went skiing (ended up hitting another car cause I couldn't stop).

Nope, you can get 245s in with stock suspension. Not on a 7" wheel though, that is too narrow of a rim for a 245.

Yes they are, so is any other summer ultra high performance tire. You need real snow tires for the snow.

Quick question for those who like their Kumho 712s, what tires have you had before them? What are you comparing them too?
 
I ahve Dunlop SP 5000s and I absolutely love them. Not only are they 320 treadwear, but traction AA temp A.
