That is a ridiculously cheap tire isn't it? Like $80/tire or less.....

It would be nice if a tire that cheap was really good.
I have already succumbed to the fact that I will be out-equipped by everybody who is at this meet. But, I will still have fun! :rockwoot:

Best I can do is the Conti DW, my 225/45/17 are 116 a tire
Conti Extrerme DW are the best tire for your money. IMO When I had them on my Honda Fit last year, I could carry it so deep into a corner, that it didn't have the power to dig itself out. LOL

My DW's are worn but should still do well, luckily I didn't drive the civic for about a month so it saved some life... Cause I can't afford new tires yet...

Clutch is only about 150 if you do it yourself. LOL I couldn't have done it without having another vehicle to drive while I worked on it.

Good price. It was definitely a lot of work.

Jeez I'm confused about tires now... all I read is how great these $800/1000/1200 sets of Michelin PSS and Dunlop Star Spec tires are but, now you fast guys are telling me you run cheap-*** tires and still corner like crazy? Hahahah... I'm calling witchcraft & black magic!
