Ok folks, I am trying to make my mind up on a new set of rubber for my SUMMER wheels. I am going to be running 17" Enkei RS-e rims and will be going with a 215/40/17 tire.

I am looking for a "fast" tire that has good grip in the dry weather and can deal with rain also.

here are my possible choices:
1. Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712
2. Yokohama Parada Asymetrical
3. Pirelli P7000

These are all about the same price.

If you have an opinion on one of the above, please post it (pro's and Con's of each). If you have an alternate suggestion please post that as well.

*yup, I know this is the 3,000,000,000 thread on this type of question, but my searches here did not turn up a lot of info.

I have been told that the khumos are a good bang for the buck, but that they have less grip than the stock yoko a520s. How much are you looking to spend per tire? If you are willing to spend up to $130 or so per tire I suggest Toyo T1-s Proxies. Also look at the Dunlop Sport SP9000s, I have been told that these are very good in the rain. Oh and also check out the Bridgestone So-3s that everyone seems to love.

If you have the money Bridgestone S-03's are the way to go. Best grip in the dry and rain. I love em. If not I highly reccomend the Yokohama A-520
