Where can i get some affordable tires?

Im thinking of upgrading to a 17 inch wheel over the winter. So ill need new tires. Any reccomendations? Ill already be spending enough on the wheels so i dont want to go crazy on the tires either.

Yep, my deal is on 16" 245/45/ZR16 Goodyear GSC's. They are 279.00 a set. I can get Kumho 235/45/ZR17's for $395 a set, but that is the only other size I have available.

100% agree!! Ive done business with them a couple times, for tires for my Trans Am, and my old Z28...

I just picked up some Kumho 245/50's for $86 each, and let me tell you, I am way impressed with them. They hook up ALOT better than my Toyo Proxe FZ4s did (just swapped tires) and when I push them its a bit more predictable. When I need to buy new tires, Ill go with them.. Lots of Bang for your buck!
