Jeeze Jesse - don't pussy foot around it... Share your real feelings with the group!

 

I've had worse on my car, but I pretty much agree....40 bucks a tire ain't bad though.

 

Kumho 711, same price, better performance.

I'm on set #2 after having the HTR200s. You'll be happy. They almost have a sidewall not made of marshmellows.

 

marshmellows that can hold back 50 psi of pressure at least....
Do kumho 711s come in 195/60/15? Seems like I would've gone with those over the sumitomos if they were cheap. Oh well, moot point...my next tires are gonna be like 225/50/16 or something

Back when I had the Focus, I was fairly impressed with my BFG KDW's. Excellent street tire particularly in the rain, and I felt they did quite well on the track. The only downfall is they cost twice as much now as they did two years ago, but if you have the money I would recommend them.

 

tirerack's site is a bit messed up....they have some lazy-ass shitty web designer who doesn't realize that there are other browsers aside from internet explorer, hence 1/2 of the pull-down menus do not work (well, more than half....all except the make and year selections on the front page do not work), and none of the links such as "shop by vehicle", "shop by size", etc up top will work either.

The discount tire website came up with nothing in the stock size though, I know I can't get 712s with such a large profile. 711s are probably similar.

The HaTeRs definitely lived up to their name today, nothing but lock and plow all day with a touch of oversteer thrown in.

try that... but no 195/60/15...

The opinion with the Subau crew is that the MXs seem to have really soft sidewalls so depending on the weight of the vehicle this may or may not be an issue for autocross use.

I'm looking for new tires for my car and I'm stuck between the Azenis and the MXs myself. I'm leaning a bit more towards the MXs but I'm still undecided.

Your other options are going to be alot more money.

 

The car is at about 2700 give or a take a little.
