depends on what you want out of it? im doing good on Maxxis MAV1 for daily.. and Toyo R comps for track... seriously, how longs a piece of string... get anywhere from 150 bux a pop to 700+..... Though Wheels world sell SUmitomo's and they are a good tread pattern and they do a decent job. ring around.

As Muggz said - What do you want them for?

I've got a set of the Hankook assymetrical K107's, and they're awesome. Stick like all hell, not too noisy and look nice too . You pay for the quality though.

hmm.. i m looking at something that has more grip and accurate, only for street use and sometime on the track. the current tyres i have is ma -v1 maxxis, which i feel too soft.. the sidewall is not strong enough. dun feel confident enough when i m doin a bend at 100km/hr

I'd never buy Maxxis after seeing the inside edge of the tread delaminate on 2 tyres fitted to the rex. It happened on the back tyre as well as the front so it wasnt just the negative camber on the front that did it. Now running Sumitomo's (and Toyo for track)
