Where do you guys buy your tires?
i have found the cheapest prices online, but then you have to spend a little more for shipping. i have went to local tires places around here and they dont have many options, i get many prices of around 170-190$ , i have found tires online for low as 80$ a piece for kumho's , just curious what you huys think of the "value tires" since most of us go thru them pretty quick, thanks again

Try Discount Tire
I actually just purchased my first set of Kuhmo Supra's and I am VERY pleased with them. I've actually only put a set of rear's on but they are pretty sticky and give a good quality ride which isn't noisy. I had BFG's, KDWS's, but they didn't have as good a dry traction as the Kuhmo's and were much more expensive.

Hey wantapony,
Would you mind posting the link to where you found those tires for $80? I need four new ones and that's a lot better price than for what I can get them around here. Thanks a bunch. -Bennett |

I use the Toyo Proxes T1-S, this tire is awesome AA traction rating. The ultimate for wet traction. I had Nitto's before and the rearend was everywhere, couldn't think about touching the gas pedal around a corner. Now I drive it in drizzle or a downpour as if I were on dry pavement. That's no exaggeration.
