Default New Tires

Its time for the first new set of tires that I have put on this car. It is bone stock, and I am not looking for extreme performance. I am looking for tires that will fit on the stock wheels, not cost an arm and a leg, and still do the H22 justice.

Any suggestions? I live in Atlanta, GA, so the weather is really hot in the summer, mild winters, and average rainfall.

Thanks!

once you go z-rated, you'll never go back.. you'll notice how much H-rated tires suck (potenza re92)

go with kumho's...

I looked at the two tire site links, and browsed the various tires available/recommended. It looks like the Kumho Ecsta ASX (v-rated) is a good buy as they are all-season tires, come with a 30k warrantee, and are only $66 a piece. Anyone familiar with these?

One more question: A few people mentioned Z-rated tires.. I only seem to be able to find H,V, and W rated. The V rated ones are listed at 149 mph, while the z-rated are listed similarly... Is there a significant difference? I guess since my car tops out around 145, I wouldn't be seeing a difference even if it were there... am i on the right track?
