    Ok so my front tires are way past due to be changed and I want some good inexpensive sticky tires, mainly for summer and fall. What I'm mainly looking for is a tire that is gonna hook well from a dig and still handle decent in the rain. What do you guys suggest? The possible choices I'm looking at Kuhmo Ecsta ASX's, Nexen N5000, Bridgestone Potenza G019 GRID, Sumitomo HTR's, Falken Ziex ZE-512, and Falken FK 452's. Anyone have any experience with any of these tires?

    Stock size?

    I had the G019s and they did well in dry and wet, I was happy with them. I don't really have anything to compare them to though.

    Ya I want them in stock size. But ya I'm starting to lean toward the Kuhmo's, but those Falkens are priced pretty damn good.
