some helpful info would be how much do you have to spend and what kind of driving do you do? What is your wheel width? how ling do you want the tires to last? Will these be summer only or year round?

Don't limit yourself to what is offered locally, there's all kinds of places to buy tires from and have them shipped. Often the shipping makes up for the tax that you don't have to pay since the tires are bought out of state.

So really, it's more like figure out what kind of tire you want, then shop around for a good deal :thumb:

haha yea the title is a pun.

Anyway, I am looking to spend like $350 at the most but cheaper is always better. The tires are for year round use and I do live in Oregon so that means rain lol

Thanks for the info guys

I bought Falken zeix 512 in 185/65R14 for my 96 and am very happy with them. They are great in the snow. I have not really tested them much in terms of performance though. They were only $240 for the set of 4, found a good deal on ebay.

I have them on all my cars, I have a complete set on on my Blue Sedan, on my Integra. On my Ek Hatch I have Toyo Proxies in the front and BF Goodrich gforce super sports in the rear.

When I buy anouther set of Tires it will either be Toyo Proxies or BF Goodrich gforce super sports. Whichever set you can get for cheaper. You also want them sipped. Sipping is awesome. :thumb:
