Default tire recommendations!

well im going to be needing some new rear tires soon enough and i wanted yalls opinion.

first of all im on a budget. im a high school kid with not much money!

as far as sizes, i want at least 265 width and not bigger than 295.
i have 18X9 saleens that these will be going on

what do yall think about sumitomos? i found some for 137. they are sumitomo hrz II ZR rated tires. what do yall think about sumitomos.

i know alot of yall are going to tell me to go with nitto 555's if possible and that will be what i get if i can not get anything cheaper thats also decent.

ive been reading through old posts and everyone says kuhmo isnt good so ill be staying away from them. yokohama has been mentioned and people have said they are pretty good. these are a little bit cheaper than nittos as far as ive seen.

what do yall think about the sumitomos though. they will be my first choice as they are the cheapest as long as yall think they are decent/good tires[/align]

Tire mfrs don't list anything wider than 275/40 for fitment to a 9" wide rim (Dunlop's rather ancient SP9000 being the onlyexception, going by Tire Rack's specs pages).
