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...

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:
