Hey guys, so some bastard put 4 nails in one of my tires, so im on a spare right now, so, im running, extremely low on cash, but i know that i just dont wanna take what i can afford. Now, the places next to me, are, Costco, PepBoys, Autozone, and michelen tires. I am complete stock except for CAI. Im not going to the racetrack yet, and this is my dail drivin vehicle(see sig) So what kind of size tires do you gusy recommend, what brand name? What type, i know there are differences in traction and stuff, so whichever you guys think i can get, bang for buck

thanks in advance
ideal

 

Falken Ziex...can't go wrong...dirt cheap and sticky as hell for the price!

 

cool cool, about how much each? and will they last long?

What is your rim size

get the kuhmo ecsta 712's..they will last a lot longer than the falkens...

get them in 205/55-15

 

yes kuhmo ownz j00

 

falken 512s rock my world.

 

falkens are my dream but untill i have 2 sets of rims kumho's last longer for my comutin ***...

 

What size rim ? I have 17's and I've used 6 different makes of tire.. the cheapest ones that run very well (especially in the rain) are Nitto NT-450.. I paid 92$ for one.
The best ones I've EVER had were Toyo Proxes T1 (the old style before T1-S). They no longer make those. Runner up would be the Nitto NT-555's. They rock. Great feel in control and with your steering wheel.

 

my rims are stock, and i dont plan on the changing them out as of yet, im not sure on the size of the stock rims, im guessing 16's?

wait wait, so what are the prices for each tire, that you guys recommend?

 

Stock rims are 15x5.5. Go with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's, they're $62 for 205/55-15, and about $60 for 195/60-15.

 

i believe its a 15" rim, stock, isnt it?

anyway my vote goes to kumho ecsta supra 712's

I want to see if Ideal can do some research on his own!

Go to http://www.tirerack.com and report back to use your findings...

 

Well he finally got his title.

 

I'm taking half credit for that
....greensleeper the other half.

 

but but..... but... but.....


well i did some research on thate site, still nothing about what those number represent, for kumhos only size 16's, so.... and they dont have the 712's for my year or something

but im still looking at the site... perhaps someone could point me in the right direction....

jon

 

KES 712's come in everything from 14 to 20 inch sizes. Keep looking.

 

no but...but....but, find it.

 

yup, i went on google and i found the speed rating letters or what not, but, i could only find them under,205/55-15 , so once again, what do those numbers represent?
and im still searching.....
