help choosing tires!

Which tires do you guys suggest I go with? I finally saved up $375 to get new tires and I can afford anything thats around $95 or less per tire. Theres a bunch of Kumho ones under that price from Tire Rack, but my question is which ones do you guys have and which do you recommend? I have the Kumho 712's they didnt seem to last me very long, but a previous owner had them before me. Any imput helps, thanks!

id save up the extra few dollars and grab them BFGoodrich tires, those look badass, and they also(from what i seen of the ratings) will last and work decent in all weather.

it would only be likr $50 or so more for them!

wow, sorry for the umpteen posts here, lol, but when you do decide on tires, let me know which ones before you buy, we might be able to get a deal, cuz i gotta order my rims and tires this week also

Those bfg's will only last 35,000 miles at most. I don't know how much you drive but they are great tires. Lots of reviews and choices on tirerack. They also have great customer service. Check around locally tho, by the time you pay for shipping, mounting and balancing you may not save any money.

Fuzion ZRi

A few dollars more than what you said, but well worth it. Performance wise, it's all but on-par with Michelin/Bridgestone, but a fraction of the cost. Not a great snow tire, but if you're talking budget performance, nothing will be.

I'll have to look and see what I ordered when I get home. I think I got the Ecsta's. they have a 380 treadwear rating, which is decent. they got really good reviews from what I read.

i just ordered some for some stock z wheels
331 shipped with stems and guarantees that if any tires blow i get a free replacement

edge racing had them for 295 shipped, but they didnt come with stems or the guarantee

unfortunately for your tire size it would be about 500 bucks
