Default what tires to buy?
Alright, tonight i just ordered my new wheels. 17x10.5 and 17x9 chrome cobra r's. I have tires for the front but now i need them for the back. I know that the 315's are expensive as hell, so should i just try to find the cheapest 315 and buy it no matter what kind it is, or shall i fork up the cash for a little more expensive tire that will be more quality. I want something that has a good treadlife. what are your opinions and suggestions.

Jay
