Yokohama Paradas or the Advan Neova. But Nitto and Falken are very good choices as well. I was thinking of putting mp3 rims when I get my p5. Now I know how they look as well. Good stuff.

Those MP3 rims are sweet on a pro! Yokohama Parada Spec-2's are the BIZNATCH!! Love those tires, got them on mine ...or go Toyo Proxes...but Yokohamas all the way!!! (pretty biased eh??)

Kumhos suck ***. I have the Ecsta 712s and they grip for nothing. They are cheap for a reason.

I'm about to switch to Falkens. I've been reading a little on them and I think they are the best.

You guys are way too rice. I say you can't go wrong with Pirellis. Any P-series. PZero, P-7000, hell even P6000's will blow anything away on the street and still handle great in the rain(the 6000's anyway)

By the way, those MP3 wheels do look great. The MSP ones would look good too, I think. Is your car lowered at all?
