    Tire Time help me pick!

    So my tires are all shot.. The insides are grooved in and the outsides are flat (no more thread) the inside is so bad on my front right that the belt is showing and when I drive and make a right turn the traction light turns on and applies the brake! So its time! My current set-up: Stock 17's, wrapped in Dunlop Direzza DZ101's... I love them! No complaint in the world. Since I live in SoCal there is no worry about snow and ice etc. What do you guys recommend, that is less than $180/tire? Currently SAMS Club has those tires for $140/tire so I want to get something that can handle turns w/o that narly tire skreech. Also I like how they keep my car low (Some tires make your car look like its a 4x4, and I already have a 4x4 so no need for a second lol)

    ... Someone told me to look at hancock cuz there cheap and they handle good.. idk though..

    one of the best middle of the road tires $$ mise is the Yokohama S.Drive, a good 2nd option would be the bridgestone 760. Both of these are great bang for the buck tires. The S. Drive has received several good reviews both here and in europe by several magazines. It is not on par with the Michelin PS2, Goodyear F1 Assymetric, Bridgestone 050 PP but either option listed above will cost 1/2 or 2/3 of what the top max performance tires cost. Lots of poeple will recommend withe Khumo or Hankook's because of the price. After my last set of Khumo's i will be going back to Michelins PS2's.

    I just ordered a set of Dunlop SP Sport Signatures... theyre high performance all seasons, so not sure if you want to go that route... i have not tried them but have liked dunlops in the past and these got really high ratings to go along with a price of 120 per

    I have Kumho Ecsta SPT tires. They are just summer tires but they work great in the winter too. Ive never heard them squeal while cornering. They were pretty cheap when I got them back in February and the reviews were pretty good. I have to say I am really happy with them.
