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. my autox buddies use em as beater tires and they said it grips enough for their liking even during autox conditions. so if your lookin to take turns on a budget i say kumho AST! . but better yet SPT.

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

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.
