I need rubber...

Post by Shades »

So I have really balding tires on right now and driving in the rain is scary and a hazzard as I almost killed myself this morning... not on purpose.

So I'm looking for some good All-Season Performance tires that aren't gonna break the bank.

Someone suggested some Falken Zeix ZE-512...

What would you suggest???...
I'm throwing them on my stock 185/65R14's...

Yeah I know I need rims, but then I'd really have to break the bank.

Stockers are sexy. Whats the price range your looking for and how soft of a rubber are you wanting. Cause I like the tires i run but they only last about 15k miles.. if your lucky

Visit the tirerack website, http://www.tirerack.com/ input your car info and see how their prices and selection look. You can also see reviews of other owner's opinions of most tire brands/models and their site provides solid tutorial info about understanding tire ratings & specs. You may not end up buying there but it's a good resource for info.
