What are cheap summer tires? I have a budget of about 600 bucks..ish.. I have to get them for these wheels:

18 X 10 +18 R
18 X 9 +22 F

I'd like to maintain stagger, and i have TCS so that has to be taken into acct. I'd like a 285 in the rear/ 255 in the front or 275 in the rear w/ 255 front. Thanks!

 

BF Goodrich G-Force from Tire Rack

 

lemme cehck those out. i oculdnt find them in those sizes. I did some research and RT615's by falken (???) are coming up nice

 

Check out Kumho Ecsta MX. I got all four shipped to me for around $700 from Tirerack.

 

I really like the Kumho tires. I ran their ASX for winter/rain and they stick great.

 

I checked those out. The reviews say they have 'horrid' wet traction and that might be a problem. What is your opinion of those? They're very attractive tires for the price though.

 

general exclaim UHP? i've read good things about them. they're actually made by goodyear i believe

 

Any vendor who sells them here? I read on another post they're good. I'm liking the kuhmo's though...

275/35/18 would open up my options a lot but im afraid of running a 275 ona 10 inch rim. The stretched look looks nice but i want saftey and protection over looks, especially on a daily driver car/wheel (work emotions). Any opinoins

 

kumho mx's or sport's from tirerack...

 

Recommendations from Consumer Reports.
I would rather than you did not go cheap. Cheap + rain + tight turn will put you in a ditch. That said, look at Kumho and Sumitomo above.

 

David you also have to note that the Kumho's are different models.

 

Let me make sure everyone knows this: i dont go over 45 in the rain even on the highway lol.
I think im liking the kuhmos.
Ok now last question..
275's look stretched on a 10' tire or no? Most people on this board either go 9.5 w/ a 275 and it looks nice or a 10.5 on a 275 which looks stretched a little..

 

tires differ in size's a toyo 275 will be different than the Kumho 275, some 275's look like 295's. I think a 275 will fit fine on your 10" rim though.

 

ok then, this brings the price down a lot. Thanks john

 

I do think you should get a set of summer tires and a set of foul weather tires though.

 

I will be rocking snow tires on the stockers. The potenzas on them have a few thousand left to go...i'll see how those fair from november on and i'll swap them out on the first snow.

 

Nittos are also cheap

 

Avon Tech or Hankook!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Did some seraching since im pickin the wheels up tomarow. Looks like Kuhmo ASX FTW. Avon Tech doesn't have the sizes I want at the price i like..

 

check out the federal 595s.
