Default What Tires to buy...

Well, If you look in my Sig, you might know why im looking for some new rubber!

I can not decide on a tire; I drive this car all year round but I will sacrifice performance over anything else! (will drive 45 MPH on the highway to work, if there is flurries!! If needed!) Please, any and ALL input will help me out.

I am currently looking at the BFG's KDW's in a 255/40/17 all the way around.

Thanks guys. I have a set of Toyo Proxies TS-1 on my spare set of 03Cobra's. They are excellent tires.

I will look into some Bridgestones too..

Since you are like me and u love leaving rubber on the pavement try the Fuzion HRI tires. They are pretty damn cheap(something like 40-45 each). They are made by bridgestone/Firestone so u know they are good. They are H(130mph) rated which is pretty good. I have them all the way around. They grip the road pretty good. I can go around a turn and get on it w/out the *** coming out from behind me. anyways its worth it if u like to burn em up!

These rims have the same tires that I have, 255/40/17 ESSENZA 210, and they seem to be pretty good. They wear well, and hook pretty good, and look good. I like to burn a little tire here and there also. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-7...57702512QQrdZ1

Edit=did a search for those tires..no idea where to get em...must have just been a Ebay special, but still a good tire.
