Ok I need a new set of tires and am looking at what types to get. I want them to last a desent amount of time and get them realitivly cheap. Any information would be great.

 

If your looking for good tread life and also cheap, then i would have to go with the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 which are 340aa, or some Falken Ziex, also it depends on what size you want they both do come in Z-rated sizes. These are the ones I listed just because these are like the most popular cheap performance tire in AZ. Just because the Kumho size 205/40/17 or only 75 bucks a piece. which is pretty good hope this helps.

 

Well I like the khumo's they are pretty cheap with good quality.
I do however like how the perelli's look. Depending on how much money you have and what type of rims you have you need to be more specific.

 

I have Kumho Ecsta Supra's myself. Great on the street, in all weather. Never try to launch on them on the drag strip though! Worst launch I've ever seen. Got mine at tirerack.com, nice and cheap.

 

I'm still a big fan of the Potenza RE730's whatever U get, check tirerack.com like the other said, good price, fast shipping

 

I had the falcon ziex 502, horrible tires on wet weather. And the company have the nerve to call them all season performance tires. I can tell you from experience, trying going fast with them, like past 60mph on wet weather or speeding up with them in wet weather. Seems like the car is about the spin out of control. Avoid them if you can. I now have the Dunlop W10 and they are much better on dry and wet weather. Only drawback is that they have only like a 160 treadwear os some where around there....

 

I've got the Potenza RE730s on my ride and I love them. I got the 205/50/15 size so they are a little wider than stock, which gives it a wider contact patch. The only complaint I have had with them so far is the noise at 75 on the freeway. These things are loud!! Just turn up the music and you should be fine. You might want to look into the Potenza S03 Pole Positions instead, they come in the same size but are better performance tires.

 

Yokohama A520's outperformed Kumhos in testing....and only cost $2 per tire more at tirerack.com

 

Bridgestone Potenza RE730 is a pretty good tire w/ good treadlife and not that high a price.. theres also Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s, Falken Azenis, these all come in stock size (195/55/15) or a size that fits the stock rim (205/50/15).. not sure if u have aftermarket rims or stocks..

other good tires are Dunlop SP9000 and Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole position.. thee tires grip very well but cost a bit more and have less tread life than the ones named above..

you can either order from http://www.tirerack.com.. or just print out the prices from tirerack.com then walk into your local Discount Tire Center/Americas Tire Co and ask them to do a price match...
