I'm looking to buy some cheap but good performance tires.

I'm probobly gonna get new rims in the near future so I don't need something that can last like 50K miles, all I need is like 10-15K


any recommendations?


if you can't think of any than what are the best cheap tires you recommend...when I mean cheap I mean like $200-300 for 4

 

Used tires from eBay

meh I've been looking at it

 

What size wheel do you have? What tire size do you need?

 

For $300 for all 4 you can maybe get some cheap *** crap chineese ripoffs of real tires.

 

For $300 I got BFG G-Force Sport's from tire rack, shipped to my door.

They were like $65 each.

The size is 225/50/ZR16...not sure about the z, might be v...the rest are correct though.

 

These might be on the high side of your budget but take a look at Fuzion tires. I've tried some, and they aren't too bad for typical street use.

 

I did a little research on tirerack created a ranking list based on TireRack test results:

From best to worst:

Kumho Ecsta SPT
Fuzion ZR-i [tied for most expensive]
Yokohama AVS ES100
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 [next cheapest]
BFG g-Force Sport [tied for most expensive]
Sumitomo HTR Z [cheapest]
Goodyear Eagle RS-A**

** I used this tire as a reference to make sure I was comparing apples to apples

 

I've got Kumho SPT's right now and they're pretty good. They grip fairly well for a 320 wear rating, have excellent wet traction and they have decsent feel. I've had Falken FK-451's before and they were quite good, but they wore out too quickly and they lost a lot of grip when they got down to the wear bars. The SPT's were better than the ES-100's in the Tire Rack test in wet and dry, they cost a fair bit less and should wear a little longer. You won't win any autocrosses with them, but they are good otherwise.
