    Default Tire Help

    Getting new tires for my fat fives. I beleive the tire size is 195/50/15. I will check later to make sure. What tires should I get for a reasonable price?

    I have been looking at..
    -Yokohama AVS ES100 Link for AVS ES100
    -Fuzion ZRi Link for Fuzion ZRi
    -Dunlop SP Sport FM901 Link for SP Sport FM901
    -Kumho ECSTA SPT Link for Ecsta SPT

    All those tires were $50-$60 each

    Or these for $85
    -Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Link to F1 GS-D3
    Dont know if i want to spend that much though

    The car is a daily driver and i plan to autox it sometimes. Where should i get the tires from? I want the road hazard progam too.

    I worked at Tires Plus and Discount Tire, The Es100 will have the shortest tread life, the Kumho and Fuzion will have the longest, the Dunlop are somewhere in the middle. The Fuzion will have the hardest sidewall. The others are pretty soft. Working in the business I had a lot of comebacks with people not being happy with the Es100, and sold tons of Fuzions and the only comebacks I had was when they came with friends for more tires. So I hope that helps

    If you look hard enough you might be able to find some of the Falken Azenis Rt215(discountinued replaced by the Rt615) still in stock at some of the online parts dealers. They are cheaper than the 615's and just as good from what I hear. I ordered a set from edgeracing.com for 14" wheels and they were $47 a tire and should be here sometime this week.
