You are not going to get a real performace tire for $65 a tire...... sorry. I have Bridgestone Potenza 750's. I really like them, but they are arround $95 a tire.

Dunlop Direzza DZ101. Depending on size, they can be as cheap as $45 per tire. Amazing tire, especially for the price.

I have si rims, so 195/55/15? or should i go 205/50/15? I just want the best lowpro tire i can get, i was guna get Hankook Optimo K406 for 55 each, Kumho Ecsta SPT 77 each, Yokohama AVS ES100 79 each or falken ziex for 185 for all 4 but i dont like those that much they look to round. I want a more square cornered tires. So what would be my best bet for aound 65ish tire?

Start by looking here at prices, and you'll see a trend

tirerack.com

Performance low profile tires are most often not around $65 a tire

oK I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT ONE, WHAT ONE WOULD WORK BETTER FOR MY CAR? Kumho Ecsta ASX, Dunlop Direzza DZ101, Yokohama AVS ES100, these are around the same price, so money is not a factor right now. Which one is the best all around????

go with the yokos.... they're an all around good tire, and quiet enough that i just put a set of em on my moms '06 RL (245/45/18s I think they were) and she loves them! and the treadwear rating is pretty good too, so you'll have time to save up for something real stickyfor next time

Love my Yokohama H4S's. Give me good grip, and have lasted me quite a while. I enjoy some good spirited driving a little more than others too.

Oddly enough, due to my above suggestion, I've just contradicted my first response to this thread. They are $66 each without shipping.

Make up your mind. Do you want something that conforms to your oddball aesthetic tastes? Do you want something that fits properly? Do you want something inexpensive? Do you want something grippy? Do you want something long lasting?

You can't have it all in one.

Set a budget and think about what you really NEED from a tire.

Oh yeah, the Yoko H4S's have that squared sidewall that you apparently like. Why not look into those? They're quiet, grippy, last like they're actually for a daily driver, and they're $66 freaking dollars!
