tire suggestion?

[tudragan]

i was wondering what tires i should get, since my tires are bald. i need something for daily street driving. i have stock 16 rims. anyone have any suggestions on what tires to get. something affordable.

Are you looking for budgets or good brand ones?

Is it purely town type driving, ie little to no motorway etc?

Budgets here in the UK will cost about £40 each fitted and balanced. But some good brand ones will be around 80-100 quid each.

Sorry forgot to mention sizes.

On my 16s, I went for 225 50.

I like how wide they look from behind and have never been keen on low tyres, although alot of people love low ones.

Cheers

yeah, my tires now are some potenzas that they stopped making, but they are 225/50/16. im looking for some tires that have good grip for some aggressive turns and high speeds, but no autocrossing or anything like that.

I would say take a look at the newer Bridgestone Potenza RE750 at 123.00.

Instead of asking us to do work for you, why not just point your browser to TireRack's website and do a little research of your own?

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Yokohama AVS sports (won't last long but so far the best performance tire I've had..better than the Pilot sports), or the Yoko ES100's are great dry/wet performer.

how long to tires take to arrive after payment

There are so many different opinions on every tire. One person will say a tire is good, the other will say it's bad. Tirerack rates all the tires, is a good source for seeing which tires are good. I used to have the same rims, sport 16's right? The kumho MX(good value and good grip) is a good tire or toyo t1-r. If you want more grip, get a lower treadwear rating. 280-320 is pretty high. You should get something less than 250 which would last about a year -year 1/2. I used to have dunlop sp sport 2000 225/50 with treadwear around 200, and handled great in the rain, lasted around 20K. But don't get dunlops, bridestone SO-3, michelin pilot sport and toyo t1-r are good ones. Good luck, it's a pain finding the tire you like. :redspot

Our web site does have a lot of options. The type of tire you want is the first thing you need to figure out. From there I can help zero in your options. If I can help let me know.
