What tires should I get?

I'm looking for a set of tires to wrap around a set of 18 inch Enkei EV5's. But I don't know what to get. I'd like a set that has great performance on wet and dry roads, decent tread wear, and has a tread pattern that visually pleasing.

And even though I'm pretty broke at the moment, by setting my mind on something, it'll give me something to save for.

BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2's. If they come in the proper size for what you need. They are strictly a summer tire but are excellent.

It looks like a great tire. I just compared it to the BFGoodrich
g-Force T/A KDW 2. And I like the Sport comp 2 better. But how does the Sport comp 2 act during everyday driving?

It works great for everyday driving. It is designed as a more aggressive everyday tire. I daily drive mine 60+ miles.

Depending on where you live you will also need to save for winter tires.

Re: What tires should I get?

I've got a decent set of winter tires that I'm planning on slapping on my stock wheels. Then buying a set of summer wheels and tires.

And right now, I live about 20-25 miles away from my job. So I'm gonna be putting a few miles on the Bridgestones you recommended. As for the way I drive, I take things nice and easy with a little fun on the country backroads (excessive speeds, moderate to heavy braking, and taking corners a little too fast).
