Default Tires

It is time to replace my tires.

What kind should i get? I know absolutely nothing about tires. If somebody could give me a break down of diff kinds of tires and shit that would be awesome or if somebody could suggest a kind of tires for my 2g turbo that would be sweet. Thanks in advance.

Id recommend some kumho ecsta supras like 712s or something. It all depends on how much you want to spend. Azenis are always great tires but I heard are a pain in the rain. Basically just read around on the intraweb and find something you like. BTW this is matt (wannabedsmer)

azenis suck for going straight, they are too hard on the sidewalls, and suck in the rain....the kumho's are good if your not making too much power

I've got Hankooks. They're extremely cheap and no complaints...

i want some street tires prefer to pay less money lol... Ummm anythnng that works pretty well i guess would be great. As long as they stick to the road and dont hydroplane every fucking time it drizzles/rains.

Go to Tirerack.com and they have just about every tire you can think of on there plus they give you specs on stuff like wet grip and dry grip for each tire! Have fun!
