If you dropped to 17s then I think Avon Tech M500s are a decent choice for $111 in the stock size from TireRack. I've autocrossed and driven an Evo on these tires and they are a decent tire.
He's already got Coopers just installed on his 18's, at $200 a tire, and I thought that was a little high. Although, I don't know which model yet.

I'd agree on the Avon tires, good looking tire for the cost.

Also the Kumho Ecsta MX is a good tire. Only $109 in the stock size or $152 for a 245/40R18

Lemme know what you want and I can get you a rockin price.

But I'm tellin you, ES100's are a 25-35,000 mile tire. You definitely either are spinning them ALL the time, or having some serious alignment issue.

We can do alignments here as well, I think it's only $89.99 something. We have the same machine as BigBear Tire.

Advans feel kinda sloppy after my Victoracers. Doesn't make them a bad tire though.

Hey Jackass, how come you're so freaking quiet today?
By the way Kunta, if you wanna bring your pads, Mikey is gonna be working on his brakes tonight at New Berlin.
