The SE-R has so much torque. It's hard to save tires. What tires would you recommend?

225/45/17ZR Falken Azenis.........a little more expensive than a few others but i doubt your wheels will be spinning much unless you really try

I think Kumho Ecstas are the best value for the price.

<--- running kumho ecsta's..... mine are only 205/40 though..... great wet traction tire which the stock conti sucks at.......doesnt grip quite as well though, it may be fixed by going with a 225 width though

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 was car and driver's #1 rated tire when they compared 10 or so sticky tires. They actually have a pretty high treadwear of 280 and are second to none in wet traction and just barely behind in dry. I know thats what I'm getting to replace these crappy continentals.

where did you shop? ripofftireco.com? Although, if you buy them from a store they will do that to you sometimes, my friend was in a pinch when he got a flat on his FD RX-7 and had to find tires for his 18" rims and he ended up paying like $800+ total for 4 tires of some off brand crap called "mastercrafts." I highly recommend shopping around for tires once you decide on what brand and model you want as the prices will vary tremendously.
