Replace Tyres
 
Hi all...new to the club so be gentle....looking at replacing the tyres on my Mazda Maxx Sport currently have Toyo 205/55R/16...what are some good options with a price range under $100 ? Would like to also go to a lower profile if this helps...

under $100/tire is a bit of a limitation... and to go lower profile you need to use a wider tire or larger rim. I'm pretty sure that the larger tire size to get a lower profile is a non-standard size, thus difficult if not impossible to get.
Have a look at tirerack or 1010tires & search away. They have reviews and such as well.
I recently got new tires and am rather unhappy with how the car handles now - if you get new ones, please reply with any difference you feel in handling - so I know if i'm alone.
BTW, I had gotten continental extreme contact DWS - car pulled to one side with a squishy ride. Replaced them with goodyear eagle GT, and the car drives straight but feels like the back end is floating around way too much due to the tread 'walking'.

Thx
 
Thanks for the reply and info....should have some new tyres next week and happy to give feedback on what I get and how they handle on the car....
