With summer coming along I need to get new rear tires for my 91 240sx SE. (Stock rims) On the front I have almost brand new Yokohama YK420s but I have cheap tires on the back. These tires will mostly be for daily driving, with the "once in a while" weekend autocross. I'm looking for a tire that sticks decently well, but will last me at least till winter. I live in Illinois so its usually dry, but once in a while we get rain. I read the tire FAQ and so far I like the AVS ES100s, the f-Force sport, and I have been thinking about the Ecstas since they are cheap. Now what would you guys recomend, and where should I buy these tires from, any other good places besides the Tire Rack? I can mount the tire at my auto class so thats now problem.

Thanks in advance

what ecstas? 712? i hate that tire, i would get 711s over that. but then again thats from a drifting standpoint, ive never gripped on thoes. I would get st115, they have a great treadwear (360) and grip great for their price, and they kick *** in the rain even on low tread.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking about the Ecsta KH11s.
