i need help guys. I need to order tires, but i dont know which ones to get. I think I want an all season performance tire. Its for street use only. Probably sticking with stock size of 195-55-15. I was thinking about getting the sumitomo htr+ but i see mixed reviews on them and they seam cheap. Any suggestions? Ive been looking at tire rack and discount tire. TIA

there are better tires avail. in that size. the 195/55 aren't a real popular size since most cars dont run those stock

Falken Azenis are sick as expletive, but too bad they only last for like 15K miles.
Does anybody have D2 coilovers or Function and Form??? Do you like them??

and what does that mean get nice parts?? u buy shitty parts for ur car?</TD></TR></TABLE>
in my opinion turbos are not really worth the money unless for track usage. I dont street race so therefore it would just be there for bragging rights.
I dont buy any cheap parts for my car and the 4000 dollar paint job will show for it. But by nice parts I mean like HID's, nice set of rims, gramlights, volks, etc. recaros <<< things that I can really show and put to use
