Tires: Whats good for the streets?
I got some nice lookin rims, had them for a good 2-3 months sittin in my garage and I got a good hookup on tires but lets face it, coughin up anywhere from 200-600 for some tires on top of the rims is pretty crazy. Anyways I was wondering if anyones ever had experience with the Nitto Neo-Gens. Any good? And whats your fav for the streets?

Re: Tires: Whats good for the streets?
I recommend (since I'm an autocrosser):
Yokohama ES100 Kumho 712s Kumho MX Toyo T1S NOTHING FROM SHITTO! Dunlop Sp5000 NOne of these tires are great in the snow though.

Re: Tires: Whats good for the streets?
My friend went through 2 sets of Kumho 712's and I didn't like them very much, wore out quick and didn't offer that much traction.
I think I am going to go with the Bridgestone S-03's after some serious thought. Just need to burn through these shitty Bridgestone Potenza RE92's first.

Re: Tires: Whats good for the streets?
yah they are really bad, but I've heard that the 2nd gen ones weren't that bad. I don't know anyone with them so I can't really pass judgement on them.
