Default advice on nice decent tires

im getting ready to buy new tires for my stockie but dont know which kind. I need one with good thread wear since i drive to school alot which is like 50 miles a day. So any suggestions? looking for at most $110 per tire. I was looking at Kumho esta asx is that any good?

Why not go with the same ones that came on the car? When I need new shoes for mine I will go with goodyears as I don't like the stock Yokahamas

eltaco..go with the same ones that are stock? hahahah, you've got to be joking!! That's hilarious, since the stock tires ARE NOT that good at all! expensive to replace and much better tires out there for a lot less $$$$

the goodyear that's mentioned is probably the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-season.

Fatboitan, i would recommend the toyo proxes4, about $100-120 depending on where you get it. But do a search, you'll see what the rest are saying about the proxes4, basically AWESOME! :D

yes DO NOT get stock again. Stock rubber is horrible on the tc

and x2 on the toyos. Best tire for your money. You wont regret spending the little extra money.

yeah discount tire doesn't sell toyo's. there was another place i can't rememeber who it was. you could always go to toyo's website and find a local dealer, see their prices.
