Default New front tires....

I recently ordered some ZR1s for my car (17x9 and 11)..for the front tires I got these for $150 no tax. It's all about a budget! I rarely drive my car and with these being on the front I'm not worried about mileage. They are a cheaper no-name brand, but damn they at least look bad ***! LOL.

275/40/17 (the other tire pictured was a 245)

They also have that fancy rim guard tire lip thing that some Yokohamas have.

Those are nankangs...I had a set of Nexen N3000 that look almost the same. they are actually a very good tire...I had them in 18's on my convertible camaro I had and it was great for a daily driver and did well in the rain..Hardly any noise..Traction was great but that was also on a v6 too...I started to buy the nexens the last time I bought cheapo tires but decided to give the Avon's a try..Im sure you will be happy with them if your just looking for something to drive on.

Here are the nexens..very similar
