If your going to bother to mod your car for it to be faster, handle better, stop quicker tires are the contact between the car and pavement. A real nice set will help the car with traction(better 60fts, even on the streets). Also with handling, the better tire you put on the better the car will do in the corners. Braking applies the same.

Dont skimp out and buy something cheap, its wasting all the money you spend on headers,gears, CAI, etc.

AFA a tire source (not sure if you are asking that) www.tirerack.com is a sponsor and has pretty good prices, from 160 and up per tire for your current tire size.
