I need some ideas for new tires. I might buy a winter beater, but if not i'll probably need all seasons.

I don't want to spend that much, I'm 18 with some bills.

Any ideas on All Season, 275-40-17 performance tires? If i do buy the beater, i'd appreciate some ideas for summer tires.

Thanks.

 

not any cheap choices out there in that size that are "all season" thats a sporty size... no really cheap 18's really...the one downfall of 18's IMO.

 

Kuhmo ASX

 

I run Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. There all season tires pretty good in the snow as long as your not driving like an idiot. Great in the rain. There not cheap tires though

 

/\/\ haha...I just saw those! yeah I'd go with those, although I hate kuhmos...but you dont have much of a choice in a lower price range.

 

Good quality?

 

riken raptors... solid tire but a little quick wearing if you do burnouts a lot. 100 bucks each for 275/40/17

 

People pick on them becaus ethey aer cheap and Korean. Keep in mind, it is an all seasone tire, so you give up some hot weather performance.

I would not hesitate to put them on my car if I wanted a budget all-season. I used to run Kuhmos on my car, not these though, and pulled consistant 2.0's in my 60 foot at the track (pre-blower days). Those are better numbers then stock tires and better then most guys get on Nitto's.

 

Eh...I hydroplaned on these tires.

 

If you want this tire, but at a cheaper price you can get Nexen 7000's, I just had them installed on mine. They have the same identical tread pattern after the Michelin Pilot's!

They arent noisey at all, they grab really well, and have a nice pattern to them too!

I paid like $93 for the 275/40/17's on the rear and 245/45/17's on the front!

 

Suck in the cold. I have the 275/40/17s. They have a good grip in the summer but in the winter they spin under normal acceleration and are horrible in light snow.But whoes stang grips good in snow.But a good price.

 

I just picked up a set of Fuzion HRi's for my stock wheels (245/45/17) for the winter. I've had them for about 3500 miles and they have been great so far. I have another set of wheels that I can put a better tire on for summer so I stuck with the stock size. I don't think they make a 275 though...tire rack has them for $89 a pop.

Edit: Just drove home in the snow tonight and these tires held up great. Up hills, from a stop and didn't spin once. (Have 140lbs of sand in trunk also)
