Shopping for new tires.. Please help?
Well, finally have some money for tires. I'm still debating on which ones to get though.. these are all in the same price range, maybe $20-$30 apart, so please help me choose.
This is a weekend car/special occasion car, never driven in the rain, unless caught in it unexpectedly, so I don't really need tires that have good traction in the rain but it is a plus.. The car stays in for the winter and is never taken out, warmed up occasionally but never driven so I don't need winter tires, so basically what I am looking for are good tires that have good traction for cornerning and good treadwear.. so help me choose.
245/35/18 Falken Grb Fk451 $161
245/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1s $172
245/35/18 Pirelli Pzero Rosso $226
275/35/18 Falken Grb Fk451 $191
275/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1s $197
275/35/18 Pirelli Pzero Rosso $262
These are the only three that they have in stock with both the 245 & 275 sizes.. there are others, but I want the same tires all around.
You can also tell me what you think of the price. Thanks

I have the BFG T/A KDW-2. These things handle and grip! They were great during the winter rain we got in So Cal, not a hint of hydroplaning and they stopped very well in the wet. In the dry...who-wee. A bit on the noisey side but given the performance I have about 10K miles on them and just now the negative camber wear is starting to show up.
I'd buy again.

Workaholic, just checking - were you able to use the ClubLexus link when you placed your order?

DaveGS4- Which link are you talking about? I'm not sure. I ordered them through tiresavings.com.
I called up tirerack and asked them "why don't you guys sell toyo tires" and they said "You get what you pay for and there is a reason why we don't carry Toyo...I will leave it at that"...
