Topic just for curiosity.
What Tyres are you using?
Why?
How much per tyre?
How many miles on them?

To start it off, I have the OEM Goodyear GSC 245/50 ZR16.
They came on the car!!!
I know they cost £135 fitted.
I done about 12k miles (10k since August 01)

I have some Nitto NT555 p275/40 ZR17's. Don't have them on the car yet because the engine isn't done. But I've heard nothing but good things about Nitto tires. I got mine from http://www.discounttiredirect.com

Bridgestone Potenza SO2 Pole Positions 275/40/17

They were about $220 per tire, and grip like a mofo, both in dry and wet conditions... ;)
