Ok, i need new tires BAAAAAAAD! I have no clue what to get. Maybe you guys can help. First and foremost, i don't want to spend more than 120 bucks per tire.

I would like the front's to be 245's and the rear's 255 (if they will not cause any problems and/or wet weather problems.(i also may drive, very very slow in some light snow, so will the wider tires make a huge difference on snow traction?).
I would like the tires to have excellent wet weather performance, and moderate grip on dry ground. Also, i prefer a harder rubber so that these things last. Last, i would like them to LOOK GOOD!

I have looked at the Bridgestone Potenza RE730's and the Nitto NT-450. Please give me some suggestions.

Oh, one more thing(sorry), where is the cheapest online site to buy tires.

Thanks to anyone who helps me out here, i know i have a lot of questions, but i don't have too much money, and want to do this right!

I would seriously look into the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's. I love these tires and there only 93.00 a piece! Hell of a deal if u ask me.

Well, my primary concerns are long lasting rubber (not too soft), looks, and rain performance.

If you want them to last then I don't recommend the SZ 50's. I have them on the front of my car, maybe 15,000 on them, about ready for new ones. They are great in the rain and corner's though. I have the Bridgestone RE-910's on the rear, again they are great in the rain. The sidewalls are real soft so I wouldn't recommend them for spirited driving. Also, they don't squeal or leave much of a black mark, so it's hard to tell when you're spinning them. Found out when my 65,000 mile (supposedly) tires are near to bald after about 20,000.

Another vote here for the Kumho ECSTA 712's.Just got new rears last month and love them.I am going to get some for the front in the spring.They are good in wet weather as well,it's hard to argue with a z rated tire for under $100 a piece!

 

WEll, that does sound more in my budget, but i am scared of buying those things. Don't you get what you pay for? I wish i new more about them.
