Default New tire time. any tips

I want some new tires but dont feel like spending a lot of money. I was also wandering if it is a bad idea to go 235's on all four tires. just wandering if anybody could help me out. Thanks.

wrong forum.

you might wanna do a search next time first...as there are tons of info on the site. lol...

anyways to save you the hassle, I'll give u my 2 cents. First, what size rims do you have? I'm assuming stock...17" or 18"? And what's your rendition of "a lot of money"? I personally like toyo's...but Michelin PS2's and Bridgestone SO-3's are also popular here.

what is your purpose on getting new tires? If you want to track your car, all 235's may balance out the understeer a little bit...and may be easier when rotating your tires. But you will sacrifice some grip. Forum members here may suggest you to go 245s on the front and 255s on the rear for stock wheels.

Good luck.

You may also consider the Falken FK451. Comparable performance with those high end models (S-03, PS2, GSD-F1) but much cheaper.
