i have the 16" rims... 205-55-16 tires i'm looking for.

i was wondering if you could recommend the top 3 choices of tires you have that have these characteristics:

1. I have dedicated snows, so don't need all season (unless you recommend)
2. I live in Cleveland, Ohio
3. Looking for long life tires
4. Higher performance tires
5. Not too expensive (most important)
6. once every couple months, an auto cross event (maybe)
7. Lightweight tires
8. Not too noisy


Also, I see you have some tires (the ContiSport 2,etc.) that are different, yet seem the same... what's the difference?

So... if you could come up with your top 3 picks from this, I would appreciate it a ton!

Thanks!

Def. easier to give me a call for more detail, but based upon your criteria for you:

1) Kumho Ecsta MX (best in handling for the $)
2) Yokohama AVS ES100s- good ride & handling.. bit longer lasting
3)Dunlop SP9000s-(quietest & smoothest ride, prob. longest lasting, but not as good dry handling for competition or agressive driving)

There you have it. calem to fill you in more, or when ordering! :)<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tire Rack</a></li></ul>
