Re: Tires choice best bang for the money!

Dunlop star specs or Potenza RE-11's or any other Extreme performance tires

Honestly, go to tire rack and start reading the reviews.
choices are just too much, and if you just interested in DD, the opimions are just too many to even suggest.
My choice of tires are still up here

Re: Tires choice best bang for the money!

I really like Micheline Primacy MXV4 (or some similar series of letters/numbers.) Expensive, but they are so good, I will never go back to cheap tires.-

Re: Tires choice best bang for the money!

Check out simplytire.com I am in the same boat as you, looking for 18`s for my new rims. It looks like you will end up paying the same buying from an online American store (cheaper price per tire but after shipping, install and balance...) as just going to a place here and getting it all done at once. $800-$1000?
