Time for new tires

Not only do I want but its about time for some new tires, what kind do you suggest, Im at a limited fund right now, so I cant afford super sticky race tires or anything, but I dont want stock tires, any suggestions, I was thinking Pirreli's but theyre pretty expensive, if Im correct

Do not buy Toyo Proxies!!! I can't seem to get any traction with them! Perelli P-Zero's are nice but will hit you in the wallet. Michelin has got some nice tread, but are also pretty pricey! IMO Save you cash and get a good tire, you'll get better traction, better wear, and all round better performance.

Ill check them out, after I buy my transmission I might hold off on the tires I want to rebuild my engine, I know it will last for a little while longer but I dont want to pop it, if I rebuild before I break it, it shall be much cheaper, heheh

Ive been most impressed with Yokohama tires, specificalyl the AVID V4. the Yokohama AVS ES100 are pretty extreme tires and are about $75 a piece, worth a look.

My tire budget is really tight, so for me it's Kumo Exta 711.
225-15 for $51.

Kuhmo's are good in dry/warmer weather...

Ice and snow are not their forte...

If you want a good cheap summer tire, check out the Yokohama V rated A520's. They're no race tire, but fore everyday driving they are comfortable and sticky. (160 treadware) You should be able to find them for about $70 a tire installed.
