alright, i need 2 new front tires for my trans am. i have the 16 GTA wheels on there, 245/50r-16 tires on there currently.

the back tires are fairly new, they are Grand Spirit Radial HR+4's.

im taking my car to les schwab here to get new ball joints and i can just get the tires from them. they have:

Proxes 4:http://www.lesschwab.com/tires/performance/proxes4.html
which are about 120 dollars each
or
Zexius XI-326 for 115 dollars each (which i cant find any information on their site)

or i can get the ball joints done, drive a mile down the road and get either :

Kumho Ecsta 711 for 80 dollars each
or
Yokohama YK420 for 120 dollars each

the car is a daily driver, so i need a good all around tire, and something that will match up decently w/ the back tires.

thanks

Kuhmo's are a great tire for the price. good grip and decent weather handling.

The bridgestone potenza G009 is around 120 reg price. I have them on my car. They handle real good, ride good and they get excellent wet traction. You might wanna look at them. Im gonna be putting them on my cousins 00 Grand Am GT. 245 50 16
