    Recommend summer tires 215/45r17

    Looking at Michelin Pilot Super Sports but am looking to spend around $400 on a set

    How are the Dunlop tires, the DZ102 looks good as well as the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2

    Falken...? ZIEX ZE950 looks good!

    The pilot super sports seem like a no brainer their tread wear is unmatched correct? Im all for dropping around $500 on a set but I will have some negative camber because lowered car so I dont want great tires to be worn to waste.

    Kumho Ecstas were pretty good for me, here in Cali. Not sure if that would work for your weather and, they are about $380-420 installed last I checked.

    You could probably find a better deal online.

      i have Comp-2s they are pretty loud when you are getting close to the limit but they seem to have a good bit of grip ( not as much as my old star specs but 200 treadler vs 340) they are great in the wet too. fairly quiet on the freeway

        The KUMHO Ecsta LE (I believe) came on my m systems and have decent wet weather traction, good cheap tires too I think.

            if you are concerned about camber wear try nitto negen they do actually resist camber wear not just marketing bs. i had -3.5 on the ront for half of the tier life and olny 2/32 difference between the outer and inner circumferential groves.

              I have had both Dunlop DZ101 and 102's. They are very nice tires. I currently have Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval. The name is totally lame but they are grippy as hell, worn exceptionally well (not too many street miles but a good amount of track miles), and do not grease out on 100+ degree track days.
