i got ventus tires, from pepboys....but none the less still reallllllyyyyyy good. i loved them, until i burned the tire off the back of it, so i have to buy a new tire. [:@]

but if you wanna stay a little on the cheap side, then go to pepboys, theyve never ripped me off.

Potenza G009's all the way! I got them put on because they were cheap for tires (I think $169.99 a peice) and were a Consumer Best buy. I didn't want to put crappy $69.99 tires on it, so I shelled out about $400 more and haven't had a problem in 2,000 miles! In the rain they grip amazingly. When it's dry I can't peel out... Of course, my other tires I smoked them to get new ones ... Parents refused to buy me new tires , these tires I haven't raced on, peeled out with, etc. etc. ... It's all about how you treat them

And I don't know about the size you should get, All I know is that they fit around my 17's

I agree. 275/35 of front looks mean. You Can go as big as 315's out back though. I have sumitomo htr+ and I love them.
