Bang for the Buck Tire?
 

Ok, so I'm in the market for new tires..... 205/50/15 to be more specific. Now, one of my questions is, since I haven't lived here long, should I get Summer performance tires or all seasons? Plus it doesn't help that I need to spend as less as I possibly can.

Right now I'm eye balling Falken 502's.... Anyone have any experience with these at all?
My first choice before I found those were gonna be Dunlop Dz101's.... Sam question about these also....

All opinions are welcome and appreciated.

are you looking for something with some grip or just tires that will last for awhile???

Ideally both... lol But I would want/need something in between.

I spent 53 a tire for some Nitto Neogens in that size. They are great with camber and have some decent grip if you're running a stock engine. I definitely can't argue with them.

I used to run Azenis in the winter/summer. Most people will say their wet grip sucks, but well they must have never warmed them up properly because I never had an issue :thumbsup:

Where did you pick yours up?

I did fail to mention that I need some that will be good with camber....

federal tires are cheap and grip pretty good.

try onlinetires.com they got some pretty cheap tires

:roll:You missed the point of this thread.... I've already looked at the online tire places. IDGAF about those. I simply want input from people that actually have something to say about what tires they run that didn't cost a ton or input on the two sets I am looking at.

neogens for 53 dollars a piece will be your best buy check discount tire

I agree on the Neo Gens! I run em daily

As in these -------->

They're $87 a tire.

Thank You... :thumbup:

I ended up buying the Nittos.... thanks guys.

nice, imma go with those nittos too. in the past i was always getting kuhmos... FUCK kuhmosss!

discount tire can get tires from "dicount tire direct" but this may be a good sticky thread candidate.

i am debating between 3 tires. here is the info i have collected from various sources and talking to MANY people.

-dunlap direzza dz101 $75each (good tire, no complaints, not super sticky but good for lightweight car with good suspension and on a budget)
-Nitto NeoGen VR $77each (good tire, 1 noise complaint, stickier than dz101)
-Falken RT-615 $81each (great tire for track/canyons, short life. lucky to get 10k miles)

i mean really we are only talking a $24 difference between the dunlap and falken but when you have to replace the RT-615 at least 3 times(assuming a normal sport tire lasting 30k miles)... now we are talking about a $243each tire.


hell of a dilemma! : )

Buy the Nittos from Onlinetire.com.... I only had a problem with my order because I screwed the billing address up...lol
I bought my Neo Gens for $52.75 a tire...Shipping was $42.64. Grand total was $253.64... which is CHEAP....

As for road noise, I don't hear any, but that's probably just me.

Fuckkkkkk I wish my tires were that cheap for either of my cars...

I spent $600 for tires on one and about to drop $800+ for my truck

BFG for my s2000 but even if I bought cheap tires it would still be almost $500.....

My truck I am either going to get some BFG's or Goodyears...I have a 4 wd so it is pointless to get anything that is not an all terrian

Where did you buy your tires from? I might just buy online and take them to get mounted.

oops, forgot to specify... 205/50-15

and yes... s-drives ARE nice.

^^^^ The tires I bought were also 205/50/15's.
