Fantastic Tires
 
does anyone know any? i still have stock wheel size (15) and wanted to get some tires that arnt too expensive but have hella grip. hints?

in all honesty you should plan on paying a lot for a good tire. It's the only thing that holds your car on the road and without it you can't go stop or turn well. If you're going to pinch pennys do it on something other than tires.

I'm a big fan of the Nitto's, Falkens and Yoko AVS's

Falken Azenis!

Kumho makes good tires for a good price too...have had great experiences w/Ecsta's!

I like my Toyo Proxes - owned 2 sets (15"s & 17"s) - Car had Nitto's on it when i got it, the guy had just had a blow-out 2 weeks before i bought it and one of the tires had a knot on it... not sure if that was a freak thing or what...

I am seriously loving my Yokahamas.

the rim really helps it though!

i have stock 15 inch rim. i may get the 16 inch chromies from the 5 and get them on my car, but i am wanting to get wider tires also. i was tihnking more of goodyear eagle f1 i believe, or some nice pirellis.

Toyo proxes T1-S => goodyear eagle f1's , but much cheaper... I was gonna go that route :) - ended up with Toyo proxes 4's

So...since I've ordered my tires...and I've used Kumho before...unless someone can find me a better deal on some great tires...I'm going w/this:
