How much are you looking to spend? If you want a real good street tire look into the SO3 Pole Positions by Brigestone. They are a little pricey though.

Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position [worship]
Their price [Frown]
Your size will be P225/55ZR16.

The Kumho Ecsta's are a great tire for the money. Many autocrossers use this tire. I just bought a pair. Love em.

I just got a set of BFGoodrich Traction T/As and they are the best tires I've ever had. Feel REALLY solid and seems like my car handles better than ever, especially when I was tearing it up in the oakland hills going double the speed limit or more through the twisties. Wet traction is improved, but I can't compare that well since my tires were pretty worn before, and my car would spin for a whole block, now they only spin for maybe half an intersection if I punch it.


They are a little expensive though, cost $125 a tire....

I like the Kumo's, best bang for the buck and I run them on my 68. Gonna buy a set for my camaro too. My dad runs them and all my auto-x budds run the Kumo's Ecsta's or the Supra's.

But that Costco deal seems pretty good to
