Well winter season will be done soon... and i need tires for my rims...

i got 16" drag from option jdm...
some members sugested this set of tires. http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...el=Ziex+ZE-512 .. but kinda expensive... id ont want something for performance cuz my car is looks only...
so something nice n cheap would be nice i guess....
this is my first time shopping for tires... especially for rims...

heres a pic of my rims if it hlps....
hlp me pick something nice n cheap... price range 300 to 400 max?

Kumho 712's should suffice.

edit, there solid tires, half decent performance, you should be able to get them for about 400 (+tax MAYBE)

Get them online and I'll even go with you to pick 'em up in the states. Thats what I'm doing.

maybe you should've checked the prices on tires before purchasing your rims. if you can't spend a little over 4 bills on tires for 16s then why did you buy rims in that size? if you don't care about performance then shop around the boards for some used tires. just make sure you get at least 2 of the same for the front or back. that way you can save lots of money! lol or you can buy some cheapo made in china wanli tires.

Falken 512's, nice and cheap ... but I dont know if they make them in 16" ???

imported_Zyepher

nice and cheap eh.. Thats like fat and hot..They dont go well together.

imported_mikepasini

kumho 711s... they have a AA-A traction rating and even cheaper than the 712s... get those in a 205 and you have some solid grip...

and 80/tire is not expensive... i dont usually see too much cheaper than that... imagine if you were buying a bf goodrich or michelin... whew... 180/tire you prob would drop dead.

best bet is to drive across to Discount Tire in the states and hook up with some mad cheap Korean made tires. but yeah even locally they can be had cheap if you dig hard enough. i've heard of guys on 17s getting really nice looking korean tires for under $400. expect really POOR wet and cold traction though!! so be careful please.

rema

thnx for all the replies...
freddy suggested this... cheap shipping fee too... what do u guys think...

Try calling up tires23.com i got my 205/40/17 512's last year for just over $400, There really good to deal with!

imported_99CivicSiR

definately call up tires23, I got a set of tires about a month ago for less than $400 including tax and mount+balance. They are amazing to deal with.

if a set of tires is...say $400 to $500 locally, how much do you plan to save by getting the same set in US? i.e...by driving over there.

Tire's 23 will take care of you Rema. Billy's the man. Ive bought two sets of tires in the past 2 months from him.

Fuzion HRi. No complaints at all. Excellent in rain, 100% tread left after two summers. I find them a bit noisy though.

imported_Rich@OptionJDM

i recommend 712's, a little noisy, but good value. also if you can save a little more, get the falken azenis 615, awesome tires!!

imported_littleyellow

GET federal it's a good, it works great, and the price is not too bad,
but for 16 inch, you look around 450
