Thanks

Great site to see what is available in your size and price range.

Yokohama AVS ES-100. Probably a bit over $75, but worth it.

Great tire for the money.

Not to many cars with that size. A good excuse to upgrade to 16 inch wheels?

I would like to get some 16" fuchs sometime in the future, but i wouldn't want to spend more than 800 including decent tires. More important things to invest in right now.

I have the Yoko AVS ES-100's on both my 924S and the C2 and I'm very pleased in both cases. Just remember they don't feel right until about 500 miles into them...then great!
