i have a pair of nitto 450's they are 215/45/17 in my garage...i'm thinking about putting them on my rims but i dunno what kind of tires to get for the other two...i don;'t wanna dish out as much money as the 450's so what tires do you guys recomend with the same dimensions? I'm looking for something affordable yet grips well thanks.

 

get some kuhmo tires. Cheap, tires, really good for the price. Their pretty decent. Best bang for the buck in my opinion

 

You don't want to mix and match tires of different compounds for most road racing or autocross applications. Just buy a pair of the 450s, or buy a new set of something else. If you don't know what brand "something else" is, there's a ton of info in the FAQ and search function.

*edit* As this was originally posted in the competition forum, that's why my answer was slanted as such.

well it's mostly for daily driving..not planning on road racing but a little autocross for fun...so if it's for daily driving should i stick with khumos?

 

yes

Or you can always goto a mexican tire place. They always have some low pro used tires for around 25 a tire. Thats is, if your really cheap. ha

 

i think im gonna have to mix them up...i can't find a buyer for these and i don't wanna pay for a set of wheels that suck(my bro and alot of others have had bad experiences with nittos)...i'm thinking about putting khumo 712's up front with the nittos in the back...would that be good?

 

why don't u just get 712 all around?

 

cus i'm low on cash but need new tires..i have the nittos sitting around so i might as well use them...save me some money
