they are for summer tires only.. I have a budget of around 350. Could go higher if needed. I want a nice summer tire.

not to be a dick, but have you run both of these tires for comparison?

to the OP: from the specs on the website, they look like a decent tire for normal driving. be careful with "spirited" driving.

i was going by the reveiws on the tires posted by the owners. the neo gens were the only sub $100 tire to hit five stars with the user rating system.
here is my opinion on tires. Going by experiance.
I have Sumitomo HTR+ on my cavys 16's. mine worked fine for the winter.
MY wifes alero with 225/50R16's sucks with the Kumho Ecsta ASX's traction control comes on all the time now.
i had goodyears on it stock they sucked no traction what so ever. her alero the traction was their but they don't last at all.
I have a new set of TOYO PROXES FZ-4 for the 17's but i have yet to mount them.
The Kumho Ecsta ASX on my 17's where nice Never gave me any issues for their size. 215/45R17 But i only used them on the back wheels.

I have 225-45-17s so maybe it is not the same but currently I have Toyo proxes FZ4s and they are an OK all season tire, previously I had these and preferred them much better in dry, wet, and overall traction as a summer tire.

hope that helps you out.

I don't suggest them. The tire sucks in rainy weather. The dry traction is alright, but if you do "spirited" driving, I would suggest something else.

well if they are strictly for summer only and will be changed in the fall then id go w/ the falken azenis rt-615. They are amazing tires for spirited tires but by looking at the tread alone you can tell that they're not for anything but. Also i've heard from everyone that they are amazing in the dry and just about as good in the wet.

101 a tire and im pretty sure that they are free shipping there. just a suggestion.

i might just go with the first set i mentioned... all I heard that were bad about them were that they were a little noisy.. I bet they are nothing compaired to my studded tires so I will prob get those.
