Good, cheap tires?
 
I just need a set to get me by. I plan on selling the car soon so I don't need a crazy performance tire, just something cheap that handles decent. 15 enkei rims. I've never bought new tires before, always just bought used or picked up a different set of used rims with tires on them already.
Whatchoo nogs use?

I bought a set of 4 fushion hri's for my 1st turbo dodge about a year and a half ago for about $200, I installed them myself, check discounttiredirect.com for tires first before trying some place local.

I've had good luck with kumhos. cheap as hell and they last pretty well for the way i drive. i can't tell you about their 'performance' tires, ive never bought any, just the cheap ass all seasons

I've had good experience with Sumitomos. Had them on a turbo hatch and a civic wagon. No complaints here.

Falken Ziex are the worst tires I've ever had. I got some Kelly Chargers last year (205/65/14 I think) and they're ------ bad ass.

falken fk 452's seem to last awhile. I haven't had a problem with them. They're pretty cheep on edge racing, too. Lasted longer than my Dunlap 9000's and they hold better.

Fuzion is mfg by firestone. I don't know how that is cdm, but my mom has them on her car and they seem like a very decent tire for the price. Check out some reviews

kumho ftw

If your selling the car why do you care what's on it? If the tires now hold air then send them along with them or head to the junkyard.

I need to drive 1700 miles back home first, and might end up driving another 1700 miles back to aspen again with this car before I get a chance to sell it. I don't want to have to buy tires, but I'm pretty sure I'll be down to metal or cord before then

try www.discounttire.com That's the cheapest place i found for my fiance's 20's on her for ---- stain. I think I only paid like 515 shipped so so 15's would be wicked cheap

Re: Good, cheap tires?
 
goto a tire shop and get used tires if you only need to go ~3400 then ---- it 10 per tire

Re: Good, cheap tires?
 
LSD hooked me up fat with some falken 502's on the dirty cheap. Thanks for all the advice noggins, I'll let you know how the new tires work out. Now I'll just need to get them mounted and balanced. The big tire shop nearby wants $25 a ------ tire :S I'll probably end up trying to fit 4 tires and all my ---- into the del sol for the 3.5hr drive to denver.

Nexen N5000's are what I'm rolling now, and I'm a supremely cheap bastard when it comes to tires. Kelly makes a good tire, as does Maxxis, as does Cooper.

Re: Good, cheap tires?
 
buy whatever tires are the chapist, prob find a set of 4 for under 150. ---- if they hadle well if you are selling it

Re: Good, cheap tires?
 
i just put yokohama avs es100's with 95% tread remaining on today, 225/45/17, for 40 dollars a wheel, mounted and balanced.

used tire warehouse ftw

Re: Good, cheap tires?
 
head to walmart to get those bitches mounted. I've yet to find a place cheaper. Cool thing is when I last went there to get some tires dismounted. They don't have a price for taking tires off so I get them for free! :6
