Well, I'd like to hear what other people are using on their cars. Other than street duty, my car is used for 1-2 auto-x's per month, as well as 1 day on the road course every month or so.

Setup is as follows (only the relevant stuff):'91 coupe5Zigen FN01R-c's, 17x7 front, 17x8 rearz32 brakesd2 coilovers (9/7 kg/mm front/rear)

So, what tires do people suggest, as well as what size?? I was thinking of205/45/17 or 215/45/17 fronts and 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 rears.

Tire wise I was looking at the Kumho 712, Falken Azenis ST115, and Yokohama AVS ES100. Any other suggestions??

I'd like to keep the cost under $120 per tire or so (so things like Potenza S03's are out). I just can't spend that much money.

Out of those tires I'd suggest the ES100

I'd highly suggest looking into the Falken Azenis Sport aka the 215.
