I went out and looked at the tires on my Evo last night and the insides of both the front tires are completely bald (too much fun in the corners I guess) and a set of the stock tires runs about $1200.00...OUCH!! Does anybody know where I can get a decent deal on a set of stock Advans? I was also looking at the Falken Azesines RT-615 as many Evo owners said they were pretty good, and much cheaper at about $550.00. Any other recommended tires?

I wouldn't run falken tires if they were free. I've always ran brigdestone and never looked back. Go to tirerack.com and look them . read the reviews and the ratings. Plus you have to think what are you going to be using these tires for . auto cross , drag racing , normal everyday driving. if you get to soft of compound like 200 or lower tire your going to wear throw them very quick , but the upside is great traction. to hard of compound like a 400 you will get long life , but not as good traction in the twisties
This guy is a nasty track tire and wet traction is down alittle , but not much. $736 for set of 4
Now you don't have to go brigdestone , thats just what i prefer. go on the site and browse around. hope some of this info helps. Also traction aa and tire temp a is the best rating a tire can get so lean towards tires with these ratings. even traction a and temp a is good also. just double aa means more overall traction in wet and dray conditions

emonz only has cheap tires on his evo and they seem to work fine. I mean he was able to pull 1.8 60' with them. Ive heard the stock tires suck anyway. I think the best way to get tires cheap (at least where i live) is find whatever ones your gonna buy online cheap, and then go to a tire place and alot of the times they will honor the price

I've done quite a bit of research and I think I'm going to try out the Falken RT-615's. These tires don't have the best ride quality or treadwear but I heard they are one of the stickiest tires you can purchase for the price. If anybody has had these tires let me know how you liked them.

I'm running teh khumo ecsta spt's. For teh price you just can't go wrong.
TheEngineer -> RE: Need Tires (1/30/2008 4:41:41 PM)
i have kuhmo ecsta's on my mr2 and they are ok. Not really optimal for any kinda of racing. But great if you just want something for daily driving
