looking for cheap 215/45/17's

anyone know of a good source to get a full set of 215/45/17 tires? I checked discounttiredirect.com, but I'm hoping someone knows a sweet deal. Brand is not important, as long as the tires are good quality.

what kinda of mods are you running?
you might want to go with 225s or 245's.
if you're running alot of mods, you're gonna eat up those 215's like no tommorow!

sometimes if you just go to a local place they can order them from a warehouse and "may" get them at a decent price. kumho supra's are a pretty good/cheap tire. i'd just stick with the 215's like you stated. if you don't have any spacers and still have the stock offset up front 225's and up might rub.

I'm leaning towards the Khumo Supras.. The ratings and feedback are better than most tires costing more. Tire Rack is $89 ea and discount tire direct is around $95.
I currently have 225's in the back and 215's in the front. I'd like to be the same all around so I can rotate. I'm not sure if the 225's will rub. I guess I could just switch it and try it out..but I'm too lazy..
ON SECOND THOUGHT! there is more tread on my fronts, which otherwise will go to waste if not deposited on the pavement! I think I better try it out this weekend. Gotta make sure the 225's will fit up front ya know.
