Going to need new tires soon and was looking for suggestions. Currently running Yokohama AVS ES100's but I haven't really been that happy with em. I really need something that's going to last a little longer because I've been doing a lot of highway driving but I want something pretty sticky for the twisties. Also need to keep the price down as much as possible so I just wanted to see what you guys suggest. They're 18x8.5 all around. Give me some feedback.

Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. If you need more wear, most likely an A/S tire. So might as well get one of the best ones, the Nero. Otherwise Eagle F1 GS D3 in 225/40/18s. Wider rubber would help with the handling, but hurt the mileage.

how's the handling on the Pirelli Nero M&S?? Tire rack has em for $142 which isn't too bad. I've also been recommended to Toyo Proxes 4's. What do you guys think about those? How about Khumo or Falken?? Any input is appreciated.

Save your money and get Toyo Proxes4. Best tire in the wet I've ever had, and they're pretty damn cheap.

If you want something in a summer performance tire (i.e. you're in Atlanta so probably not much need for an all-season with its loss of dry grip), try the T-1R. I have them on the ZHP, and they are very good tires -- probably the best you'll find for what they cost.

If I go with the Proxes 4's, should I keep running the 235/40/18's that I have in the Yokohama AVS ES100's? Just wanted to know if I would have any problems with the toyo 235's all around.

Do you need an all season tires? if not,dont got for the proxes 4.
I would suggest falkens for all season selection.
If you dont need all season,i suggest picking up the Toyo T1R,those are awesome tires....go for the 235/40/18.
