Rubber for me 16's

K,

Managed to get my hands on a set of 16.

Any suggestions on what I should put on them?

There's about 70% left on 2 Khumo Supras, and the other 2 are just completely blad.

Should I get another 2 Supras?

driving conditions and habits?

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 is an excellent tire for daily ripping around... at that price point, it's fine. Little slick in the rain though. Only more expensive tires are gonna be good in the rain.

I personally have become a fan of Parada Spec 2 and AVS Sport

Daily driving.

Not competition. I would like something that's decent with tire wear

Agh... I never said I wanted a performance tire that goes 4 years/100,000.

I did ask for what people reccommended, ie nice balance of both tire wear and performance.

that's not too much to expect... fawkin tires cost almost a grand if you get really good ones like Toyo T1S - fo sho you don't expect do drop a grand for every summer of driving... well not most ppl who don't race anyways.

PM if you want prices, but from what I see, I'd suggest the Kumho's... either the 712's or even the 711's .. they'll do the job, and you won't be paying out of your ***..
