Look up Falkins or Nittos on Discount tire direct or coopers zions. They're good tires for the price.

If you're on a budget, and don't mind which brand tires, I suggest a visit to Pep Boys. They carry performance tires with the size 275/40-17 and at a very affordable price. Hope this help,good luck.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Fuzion ZRi's. I'm going to be getting those pretty soon. From what i heard, they hook up really well, and for 105 bucks a tire, its pretty good for the quality. Do some research on these tires, im serious.
