hmmm... what to get for summer tires...

azenis are pretty nice and cheap tyres if you arent on a buget you can get better tires but fo the price they can do good things

I want a summer tire that has good control when you run into standing water. Not just wet pavement.. Does such a high performance tire exist?



Kumho Ecsta XS

and the review (don't buy from this link it's $30 more a tire)

The Ecsta XS are cheaper than the Falkens... at least on Online Tires.com

i'm also looking at Bridgestone RE-11's...

Dunlop FM901's.... not outstanding at one thing, but very good at everything, for daily driver.

^ that's what my all season's are for...

Not really. The only thing that works really well then is a full wet, and those are burned up really quickly in the dry. The Falkens aren't terrible in the wet. I've used them as street/rains on my track NX for years. You really can't go too wrong with any of the usual "extreme" summer tires. My picks in no real order: Falken Azenis, Hankook RS3, Kuhmo XS, Dunlop Star Spec, Bridgestone RE-11 or Advan AD08.

I just ordered the Bridgestone RE-11's...

thanks for the input people.

I'm running BF Goodrich kdws and I love them they grip great and they're good in the rain. The price is a little steep but when I bought them I had a 50 dollar coupon plus a 60 dollar mail in rebate from discount tire.
