Just taking a poll on 265/50/20s for my 2003 FX. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg but then again I don't want any cheapos either. This thing already has a very stiff and bumpy ride due to the sport suspension so they've got to have a decent ride as well. Someone has suggested Pirelli Scorpions which I can get at a fairly decent price. Any input would be great!

Thanks much, Robert

Anyone like Kumho Tires? The run at a very reasonable price, look good, and some great sats... Plus some very good reviews...

im very happy with my hankook ventus rh06. quiet and grippy. other fx owners from another site like it as well. the tire looks good too. i think i paid around $600 installed at tire pros (about 2 years ago and was discounted).

Thanks a bunch for the response. I never got any replies so I moved to another board that's much more active. http://www.infinitiscene.com/f...age=3

I did look at the Hankooks but couldn't find them locally. I ended up with the Toyo Proxes STIIs. They are awesome. Look good, stick like glue and the quietest that I've heard...well, haven't heard. Completely silent and have a great ride. 200 miles on em so...

Your best bet is to go with the Michelin tire, Its not the cheapest but it will last longer than any other brand.Lower tire pressure by 2 lbs to soften the ride.

The tires and brakes are the two things you should not cut corners on.They can either save your life or get you killed.Put the best on your car.
