I'd consider them an average performance tire, decent buy for the money. What are you looking to spend on a set of tires?
Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S-C, they will be at your upper cost limit, though well worth the money. Should be availible in the factory 215/45R18 size.
I purchased firestone firehawks TZ110 or 100s are these a decent tire i purchased them in Dubai when i got my rims. I think they look and feel decent but i cant seem to find the brand her in Canada for replacement purposes.
Falken are excellent and underrated tires, I think these tires would be good since they're the newer version of the 512s which were very nice.. If you want a real good tire from falken then you should try the FK452, they're awesome and great value for money!
Toyo in general makes good tires ... and Micheline should be one of best ... personally i really like the Kumho SPT ... they are excellent + budget buy~ as for Falken, i would say go for it, if ure looking for the cheapest "performance" tires... my local garage usually has them in special, the Falken or Nankang .. of course Falken > Nankang
i have had kumho and toyo tires on my other car and i liked the toyo proxes 4, but the kumho is a good tire also. just liked the toyo a little more.
