3 Tire choices!!! ALL opinions appreciated...

So like some of you know, i recently purchased some 16" rims. Now the problem is im a little short on cash, and I have searched all over and found the following tires to be the cheapest in price and still not to cheap in quality. So PLEASE let me know which tire to buy( BEST BANG FOR MY BUCK ):

Hankook Ventus HR II ----- $52.00 EA
Hankook Radial K106 ----- $53.00 EA
Kuhmo Ecsta AST ------ $50.00 EA

I'm trying to get some tires for under 220 Dollars

AST's really? i drove my friend's teg and they dont grip... they slide in rain and they're noisy... it all depends on what you need the tires for. is this just for daily driving or do you plan to grip drive a little. for daily driving i recommend the new ziex's and for some grip dunlop direzzas

Re: 3 Tire choices!!! ALL opinions appreciated...

Nitto Neo Gens are good. 67 dollars isn't bad either. Are they going to charge you shipping?

It seems like a good price. No they are not charging shipping, since
I asked if i could pick them up. Most likely just tax... 8.25%<----

Youre going to buy some junkass Hankooks or Kuhmos instead of spending $80 more and getting some quality Falken 912s.

Ive bought Kuhmos before. They cup. I used to work at PepBoys and Ive seen what happens to Hankook Ventus HRIIs. They are not reliable tires.
