BF Goodrich G-Force KDW NT's!

I love mine... they have the coolest tread pattern ever and are great for grip dry and wet!

Hey sorry to bring up an old thread but uh due to financial reasons i never got the rims, but I'm planning on getting them soon again and was wondering what other good tire choices are out there for maybe under 110 bux a piece. Thanks for the help

falken makes two good tires in that price range. the Azeni ST115 (UHP) and the Ziex 512 (UHP-AS). Depending on your location, these would be awesome tires.
