Default What are some good CHEAP high proformance tires...

Wouldn't you know it just when I was starting to feel good about how well my tires where wearing. Bam... Nail in the side wall. So now I need to buy a set of tires prematurely. So what is a decent, cheap high proformance tire? I have been looking a Kumho and Ventus, but I don't know much about them?

Default Whats wrong with the spare tire?

Or you using this as an excuse to buy new tires all around.


Check out egderacing.com I been looking at the toyos proxies 4

If you can spend more then go for the toyo T1-s

Default Just bought some Falken GRB FK-451, but haven't put them on yet

Supposed to be a good UHP tire, and cheap as UHP tires go.

Default Nothing it just lost its virginity, thats all...

I am just a strong believer that any all wheel drive vehicle must have tires that are worn evenly at all four corners.

It may never cuase a problem, but I just keep thinking about only wheel spining slower then the rest. Something about that...

I might try the Ventus K104 for $90 as a knock around Y rated tire.
