    I'd pick the Azenis over the Toyos because its the tire made for grip and street and it's a bit less expensive.

    Have you considered the Kumho Ecsta SPT tires? It's comfortable, grippy, resistant to hydro-planing, and super cheap. $88/ea here: http://www.vulcantire.com/

    I like the numbers on the SPT. I will defiently consider those. Also where do you recommend getting tires mounted/ballanced. Dont want my new wheels to get banged up.

    Mounting and balancing? Nathan's Meineke in Shakopee. :) He'll probably give you a nice deal and you get to watch him sweat for a change.

    Thats a bit of a drive. I think i am getting my tires at discount so i will probably just end up getting them mounted there.

    Nate likes the attention. :laugh:

    If you're ordering your tires online with Discount Tire Direct, Discount Tire franchises will not mount and balance them for free. They quoted me $42 just for mounting (wheels/tires came balanced).

    those other tires aren't even considered to be in the same class.
