I opted for Dunlop Direzza tires and love them, and they are very inexpensive!!

+1 on General Exlaims UHP. Very positive reviews/testing on Tire Rack. Very good performance for the price.

Currently, General is giving away $50 Visa cards if you buy 4 tires.

I was just checking Costco's website and was wondering why they have so many different versions and prices of the PS2's. Which one is the right one? Does it matter if it is 93Y, 97Y, XL 97Y. Also, the BFG g-force sport seems to be a pretty good price for $165 each.

Please provide me with your input on which one if I go to Costco.

I'm currently running on Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31's and not a bad word to say.
What I've read it's an alternative for Falken 452's.

Funny story, well sort of. My gf was riding in my car and I just got my Falken's on. I said "girlfriend do you hear how quiet the tires are?" she said "what the hell are you talking about?" i tried to explain tire noise on the road, she thought i was crazy. the next day after she has been driving her car, "omg my tires are soooo loud."

no she tries to go around telling other people about tire noise and everyone thinks she is crazy too.

michael
hahaha. Is she blond?
I'm sorry if I offence her in any way.

+ 1 on the General Exclaim UHP's. I just put these on my OEM 166 wheels. I really like the tires. They got great reviews from Tire Rack. Best bang for the buck!! They were on back order, but I waited until they were back in stock before getting my wheels. The price is right for what you are looking to spend.
+2 For the $$ the Generals are very good.

How is the noise of General Exclaim UHP compare with your pervious tires?
