I've heard people say good things about the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra's but I have no experience with them myself.

:werd: check the Wheels section... or try searching. I think searching on this one will give you the best answers as this is covered a lot. Hope that helps!

BTW: The Kuhmo's are sticks as hell.

kumhos 712's grip well in turns and are really good in the rain but their launching abilities are a little lacking. The stickier the tire is the quicker it will wear out. They're a good middle ground i think. Had mine for about 20k miles now. I would probably buy them again since they're cheap. There are better tires if u are willing to pay more.

many people like Bridgestone SO-3s and Toyo T1-s tires. They grip well in the dry and wet.

:werd: Kumho's are great for the price, but suck on launching. I'd get some Bridgestone Potenza RE730's.

I'm reading the reviews of the Sumitumo tires and they are pretty much all positive. Many of the reviews are from owners that have switched from Kumho's 712. They all seem to agree that the Sumitumo's are grippier than the Kumho's for only a few dollars more.

WE CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE.

Any R17 tire with 205, 215, or 225 width would fit...check here for how a particular size compares to oem:

You could probably stuff a 235 on there, but it would be a waste of effort.
