Summer Tire Help!
My wheels are ready for new tires finally! Im completely open to anybodys opinions on tires this year. I get tired of the Falkens being so loud. I need 215/17/40R or 215/17/45R for the size. Im basically looking for the best online deal on a decent street tire. Let me know if theres any good deals you guys know of. Thanks for the help!

consider the toyo proxes 4. www.edgeracing.com
A kumho would also be a good choice. |

I don't have a recommendation really, the only tires that were on my car throughout it's life were Fuzion's. But I think you have the tire designations opposite.  |

For most the SPT KU31 are the better daily driver. They are quieter, wear longer and better in the rain. |
