Well I'm looking for some All-Seasons or possibly summer tires, I only need two for the moment but either way...they will be wrapped around stock 2000 Si wheels

I have used these tires for so long, beaten the living crap out of them and they keep on truckin. And they are VERY nice on the wallet.

These are great all seasons. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....o+Nero+M% 26S

If you compare the numbers to the BF Goodrich KdwII which is also a great Summer tire.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ce+T%2FA+KDW+2 The numbers are very only .3 higher than the nero M+S which are all seasons. Talk about a great all season being compared to a Summer tire.

Also I had these on my ITR when I got my volk Te37s. Had to burn them off before winter :hehs: there summer tires. The Toyo Proxes T1-R

Idk what your budget is or what your weather is there these dont have the greatest Wet traction but they have great dry traction alittle bit better than the Kdw II

I've had great luck with Kumho tires.

I absolutely love them. If you are going all season, get the 711's like blake posted, if you want something a little more extreme, look at a set of Ecsta Supra 712's, or even a set of MX's.

I had 2 sets of 712's during the time I owned my crx, and they were just amazing tires. Phenomenal levels of grip (not just "for what they are", although they won't break your wallet), and very progressive breakaway. In between the 2 i had a set of dunlop SP sport 9000's which were good, but not as good as the 712's.

kuhmo FTL. in my canyon and moutain courses they squeeled like pigs and i had no confidence with them. the best tires for the money have been dunlop fm901s, nitto nt455s, and yokohama es100s.

you want a really good all season performance tire...toyo proxy4's are best bang for your buck. we sell em at my shop and ALOT of people put them on good cars like 911's and vettes, ferrari's, etc

Being that you and I live fairly close together and have the same type of weather all year round, I suggest BFG's Traction T/A. I currently have them on my 1999 SI and have no compalints. Summer traction is real good and winter driving in the snow gives me no worries
