    Falken Ziex ZE-512, BF Goodrich g-Force, or Yokohama AVS ES10? When the times comes I'll cough-up 700 and get the package deal, so those are my choices. :roll:

    I assume the Falken's are the best, but then I know nothing :lol:
    I'd like a proformance tire, but preferable the one that will last longer.
    Not doing any racing, or autox if that helps any. HA! yeeeaaah.

    Thanks in advance as always. ;)

    if you are not planning on racing the the yoko's or falkens will be fine. do not get the BFGs, they wear out very fast.

    Thanks guys. I haven't decided what I want to do yet. Honestly, I'd rather just buy Mafix's old rims n' tires but If I don't, the package deal choices are what I have to choose from.

    The RAV4 (my moms car) had Yokohamas on it. Best tires I've ever driven with. Low road noise, great grip, good traction in the rain. Tire wear was pretty low, we got a good 70-80k miles out of them, maybe more.

    and all this because a f'ing yoko came off the rim.

    That made my heart cry, that was prolly due to the tire not seating correctly though . .

    nope. yoko tires have a very soft sidewall.

    :cry: :cry: Damn if that's not the saddest thing I've seen in a long time...that was an alltrac too? Damn. Sorry man.

    Buddy of mine was driving a mid 90's Chevy Monte Carlo when he was swiped by a Lance potato chip truck going around a corner. He spun, hit a ditch head on, flipped forward onto the roof, then rolled 6 times down a hill. The truck driver stopped, looked at the car, and took off. My friend was fine, the only thing that went through his mind while he was flipping was that his soda was getting on the leather. Still, a Monte Carlo doesn't even begin to compare with an Alltrac. Glad you all were ok.
