Default lets talk tires

I'm gonna need some tires for my stock bullet 245/45-17'S pretty soon. Anyone got any recommendations. Not looking for the best but not wanting to cheap out in tires either... maybe $150 a tire. Anyone's used hankooks??

What kind of driving do you do, and what expectations do you have for longevity(amount of miles) from these tires?

Is traction in the rain important? Will these tires see any snow? Do you drive in cold weather very often? Do you want tires for looks or performance?

Asking before you buy is a great idea, but to get helpful answers we need to better understand what you expect from the tires in question.

Doubt they will be seeing any snow. And as this being my daily driver some longevity would be nice. Do want some grip though. As I do tend to have pretty agresive driving habits... thanks for the link ill check it out

The Tire Rack site has relative ratings for different tire characteristics, including tire wear.

This may be a good research tool to help you narrow down your options pretty quickly.
