Trusted and most everyone gets everything there, including the boys at Grassroots Motorsports. If you lived in LA, I'd have other suggestions for you.

Go down to your local car parts store, ask the local workers. I'm sure you'll find some good tires for cheap.

AVON tyres are awesome! Cheap and Grippy.

Tried quite a few brands but AVONS have alot of grip without burning up after 6000miles. Recently got some COOPER for real cheap, they are so poor in comparison.

No matter what you have done to your car the tyres are what make contact with the road and good tyres are a must have.

PS - Vredestein score very high in tyre testing but are pricey.

Do yourself a favour and don't buy cheap crap like Wanli and the like. Get a quality inexpensive tire.

Some suggestions I'd make for a moderate high performance summer tire are Kumho SPT, BFG g-Force Sport, Fuzion ZRi.

Looks like his website:
www.atlantistires.com
is down right now. You will find insane deals on really high dollar rubber here. Even with shipping if you want to get low mileage, used, wide pirelli's, etc. This is the place to get in contact with.
