new tires

Just picked up a set of tires. The Futuras on my car well thats what I think of them. Almost killed me today. Took a turn, a normal Turn that is, slowly and slowly accelerated out of the turn, it was a wide turn. And My *** flung around and I went sideways toward a tree. Grabbed traction and went right towards a car sitting at the light. Thank God I got out of it alive, didn't hit the van but damn that was shitty as hell. I also driving home was all over the road the wind was not bad at all and I was swerving in my lane all over. So I came home frustrated as hell made the decision to get some new tires. And right now I don't have much money. So after looking online I decided to grad some Falken Ziex Ze-512 tires. 205-50-15 in the front and 225-50-15 in the rear. Rear Rims are wider than the front. If anyone knows some pros and cons of these tires please inform me. Thanks Yall had to tell ya.

check the tire pressures, i found some places just inflate the tire to the max allowed.

Got to race around on some Falken Azenis last weekend and they gripped the pavement so well it was extremely hard to get the car to swing around, even on the wet pavement on Saturday when it rained all day!
