      congrats. I'm holding out for some SPT's myself. It's looking like next week as I have an extra paycheck coming

      yeah i had to get something quick while i had the money, my tires are balding so bad that i cant go over 45mph when it's raining because i'll start hydroplaning. And the wife and I are going to michigan at the beginning of august

      Well I would have reccomended you getting the Ecsta ASX's, they are rated AA all around, and feel fantastic.

      Comparing the results of the 3 different tires, the SPT's seem to be a better all around tire. More grip, better wear characteristics but unfortunately a little more money. I expect to get 2 years out of them which is hopefully longer than I'll have the Aveo so it's worth it.

      What do you mean there's no turbo?

      a friend of mine has the SPT's and they are wearing faster than my ecsta 711's which are much cheaper. I had the AST's on before my 711's, I do like the ASX's better than the 711's but they wear horribly un-even.

      The 711s and AST's are great tires, I recommend the 711s over the latter though. But I also have another set for the track so grip isn't my biggest concern for the street tires.
