New tires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

camaro34 · 07-02-2016, 05:29 PM

I'm looking to buy new tires for my 2011 m6. I have a budget of 200 per tire. I am looking for a summer tire with some decent traction for spirited driving and occasional auto rose. What is everyone's thought about the kumho ecsta ps91? I'm hoping to hear from people with some experience with these tires.

Thanks everyone

I would recommend the Continental Exteme Contact DW(not DWS). At first glance, its over your budget by about $30 per tire but it is well worth it. Im sure with some digging, you can find a good deal on them.

I've been very happy with my Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06.

These tires look great and I appreciate the recommendation but 200 is the absolute most I can do.

I'd suggest driving real carefully for an extra week or two and add some more to your budget.

Sport car tires and cheap generally don't go together. For what it's worth, I'm running Nitto NT05 front and back. 275/40/20 up front and 315/35/20 in the back.

I forgot about these. These might make your $200 budget. Mickey Thompson Street Comp.

Budget is real tight and I can only set aside a certain amount for tires, also need to get rear rims, hubcentric spacers, mount and balance.

I say keep saving. Those Kumho are junk.
