Tires

I have a 95 240 and just ordered Falken FK-451s to go on 17x 7 wheels. The tires are on backorder now and I was just looking into the Toyo Proxes 4. I can cancel the tire order at any time and I was wondering which tire would be the best. The car is a daily driver, so I need a tire thats gonna hold up... thanks a lot

I'm a big fan of ES100s, all my friends that have had them loved them. I'm also a fan of Toyo TS1s, very light weight if your looking for a lightweight set up.

Do any of you guys have experience with the Falken Azenias? I have heard good things about them being great bang for the buck tires. The wet traction is not supposedly not that good.

^^^ I'm going to be buying some Azenis RS in a couple of weeks or so, I need some cheap tires for the mountains Im going to this month. Ive heard great things about them, but they dont last as long as others and the wet traction isnt good at all. For the price, you cant beat em!

the grip is outstandin on those falkens
the sidewalls r super super stiff
grip better than the yoko
wet traction is horrible
not great for driftin due to the extra high grip
more of a track or autox tire
main problem would be the tire wear is only 200
u'll use em up fast with agressive driving
