Default Good Low-Cost Tire for 99 Cobra???

It's time to get new tires, and i've only had my cobra for about 7 months. I'm not rich and i'm in college. So i need to know what would be a good but low cost tire to put on it. I don't drive crazy, and i don't really race it. But i would like to have good traction, for whenever i may call on my car to get up and go. So would a veteran please put in his opinion on a good tire for me. My tire size is 245/45/17.

Well, I'm getting bigger wheels, so I might be willing to sell you my Dayton HR 245/45/17 tires fairly cheap. Let me know if interested.

ORIGINAL: babygurl2000

good luck finding 17 inch tires for under 100. bucks a piece
sumitomo htrz 315/35/17 = 110 bucks (17x10.5" wheel)
sumitomo htrz 45/40/17 = 77 bucks (17x8-17x9" wheel)

both from www.tirerack.com

so if he has the stock wheels it is 77 bucks a peice...

50 bucks shipping. it is about 420 bucks total shipped.

Discount Tire sells a brand Tire Rack does not. They are Faulkins. I run them and they are great in the rain, much better than trashy Gatorbacks.

Try this link: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...d=006602&ar=45

I did a set of Avon M555's on my car a week or so back. <$300 installed and shipped for a pair. Great ratings and reviews on tirerack.com. Personaly, I love them so far. They're quiet, and corner great!! Never heard of the tire before, but so far I'm very impressed.
