Get the 555ers or some BFGs. If you are going to spend a bunch for tires spend it wisely!

I like my FALKEN AZENIS tires 245/45/17's, put those on after my bridgestones. About 110 bucks a pop. Much better wet traction than my bridgstones too. Got a good run-off pattern for our florida showers.

if you cant afford the nittos, dont sweat it, just get some khumos, get the nittos later.

My car has never touched the rain in the year I have had it so rain isn't a factor for what tires im getting

As far as wear goes, I have about 15,000 miles on the original BFG Eagles, and I can hardly tell they have worn at all. If I can get 40,000 out of them, I think I will stick with them.

hankook venus. they make a real good tire with nice tread design and life. but if you get drag radials get BF or Nittos for the back, get whatever for the front.

These is typical "cheap" tires?? Cause I only paid 130/each for my front nittos. 80 bucks for all 4 doesnt seem like much of a strech to spend on a tire like a 555. (of course if he was wanting to put d/rs on the back they are 160 or so)
