What tire should I get??

[Big Nate]

I am look for a set of allseason tires for the RX-8 wheels.

The stock size is 225/45R18.

I like the Goodyear F1 Here (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+F1+All+Season&partnum=245YR8F1ASXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&place=33&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating=W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&minSpeedRating=H)

and these Yokohama AVID W4S Here (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+W4S&partnum=245WR8W4S&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&place=38&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating=W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&minSpeedRating=H)



So post up your thoughts.

I ran 225/40/r-18 Hankook W300 winter tires last year. Paid $700 (includes taxes and replacement certs) for the set from DT and loved them. After running them for 1 season, the DT guys said they still looked new from the tread depth.

Ecsta ASX from Kumho....cheap and they last for a loooong time, great grip. I've run them on my MSP for a long time...but you probly wouldn't like them in the winter? Ultra high performance all season tire.

I have seen the Kumho Ecsta. They look good and I may like them. That is another choice.

I love my Continental ContiExtremeContacts on my stockers. See here (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ContiExtremeContact&partnum=245WR8CEC&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&place=2)

Good overall all-seasons that worked great in the winter as well. Deep tread that will last too. I paid $118/tire.

Nate I don't know if you've checked out the reviews on Tire Rack yet or not, but here are some links to some of their well-liked all-season tires. You can filter the reviews my Make, Driving Style, Type of Driving etc to narrow it down to what fits your style.

All-season? Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.

Or Kumho Ecsta ASX, which I have and am quite pleased with.
I wanted the Exaltos, but they were a good bit more expensive, and it wasn't worth it for me.
The ratings are fairly similar, but the prices were not.
