Default Tires???

So I am looking to get new set of tires. I was wondering what kind of tired you would get for street use. I am still sitting on stock rim with the stock Tokyo proxes rs. It a daily driver and nothing special. Just seeing what everyone would recommend for best performance on street and look

I went with Dunlop direzza and they look nice, handle well and have a nice lip that protects the rims like the factory tires do. I think I got them for 130/each at America's tire co.

Falken PT722

not a recommendation, just what i currently have. though they run great, but you could probably find something comparable at a different price tag

If you are willing to spend money, the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 and the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position are the best UHP all seasons. As to someone else who referred to the DWS unless you drive in an area that has no pot holes, you will BE, replacing a senseless amount of tires due to bubbling sidewalls. Continentals rubber is super soft and that's its greatest down fall. If money is an issue Hankooks new S1 Noble2 is also a good choice for a mid range UHP. I work at a private shop that sells tires. I'm no god at tires, but I do my best to inform people about tire decisions.
