Default Just picked up some new wheels..need advice

Im getting rid of my stock 18" wheels and ordered some 19" ADR M-Classics 19x8.5 20mm offset 19x9.5 25mm offset... and I've been researching on which tires to get..basically I want a tire that has very good traction on dry or wet with a comfortable ride. I don't care about snow so I am not sure whether to even bother considering all-weather tires. I don't track or auto-x this is strictly for street. I've looked at some other threads about tires but I wanted to get some peoples opinions directly. I would be willing to spend up to $250 per tire but ideally I'd like to spend no more than $200.

There is no such thing as good and cheap when it comes to tires. Unless of course your uncle owns a tire store...

I would suggest the Toyo T1-R Ultra High Performance Summer Tire. In fact I just ordered some a couple of weeks ago from the above ad on this page. Tire deals for less. They have great pricing. Now I'm waiting for my wheels. Whoa!!!!!!

werd up bro, that is definitely some good advice. If you wanna play you gotta pay, and definitely this is true to this day. I used to not care about tires until I use some Goodyear Eagle F1s and then got a feel for Toyo Proxes T1Rs....these tires are awesome! It'll change the way you look at tires.

here is some pics of the rims. They shipped me the wrong offset but I may take them anyways. The rim is not gold it is just a reflection.

What offset did they end up sending you? it could make a huge difference.
