BTW,
Jay,
The Yokohama AVS are W rated according to tirerack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....artnum=34WR8DB

that's more than enough though since I doubt you'll go over 168 mph in your max. Those Sumitomo HTRs have way better ratings in all categories and are cheaper

He mentioned he wants an all season tire. That cancels out the Kumhos and Nittos.

I have Khumo's now. Just make sure your follow the scheduled maintanence (rotations, keeping psi up) b/c I hear if you don't they wear out FAST. I have them, i have about 12 k on them, and I'm about 1/2 done w/ the tread life. I follow regular rotation, and check tire pressure every weekend. I have the Z rated, and they only last at most 20K. It's a good track tire, but get something better than a 280 tire wear rating. IMHO

Does anyone know anything about the Kumho 712's I got a price of $129 each today, I also got a price on the Yokahama Parada's for $149 a tire. What Kumho's should I get that have good tred life and are around 130-150 per tire? also if not Kumho's then which kind. I have been reading good things about Kumho tires latley.

I went with a a tire that not many people talk about...BFGoodrich g-force. They are great! Tire Rack's rating system puts them right next to the Dunlop SP5000s and they are about the same price. They are great in wet conditions.
