What tire would you recommend?
Just bought this Z and the tires are bald. I need to put 245/50/16's on it. Want a reasonbly priced tire($60-$125). I will most likely never see the track but who knows. A4 with 2.73's and a few mods. I don't mind if they spin a little. My two biggest concerns are that they are quiet and last a couple years.

well assuming ur driving the forester in the snow and keep the Z for nice weather then I would get some summer tires like Nitto's or BFG's, ofcourse they are expensive and I would only do the rear's with these tires and get some cheap sumoto's for the front. just go to tirerack.com and search by sizes to give u an idea of pricing

Fuzion ZRi tires are a pretty decent tire, and they're cheap too.
Sumitomo HTRZ's are also a decent cheap tire (not sure if they come in a 16" tire though)
BFG is definitely a good brand. I had those on my '91 Z28, and now have them on my SS.
You're looking for just a high performance summer tire, right?

I would definately say the Fuzion ZRi's or BFGoodrich g-Force Sport's. The Fuzions are $98 and the g forces are $114. But with what you want thats would I would say.
