Hey Everyone!
I am finally dusting off my Cobra and treating her to a fresh set of rubber. I need some direction on what tires are good these days. I have not bought performance tires since probably 03, but those BFG KDWs are pretty much Tijuana Slicks now...
I want a tire that has tremendous grip, and I dont really care if it doesnt last extremely long. I only put about 2k miles per year on the car, so i would rather they wore out before they became rock hard from being old. I don't really care too much about wet traction, the car doesn't see too many rainy days.
I am looking at the Kumho Ecsta XS. Anyone have any input on these tires? I am not finding a lot of tires I really like in a 275/40/17. It seems to be quite the dying breed of tire sizes, but i'm not about to go buy a set of 18" wheels...
Any other tires you can recommend for under $200 each?
