Default Needing Tires Fast!! Any suggestions.

Hey guys,
I am needing new tires like right now... I called my buddy @ discount, and he said he can get me some Kumho's for $130/tire. I told him i wanted to go with a little wider tire. He told me to get a 255. Is this a good option, and does anyone have that size of tire on their stock rims? If so, do you have any pictures?
thanks.

well I can get you Z rated tires starting at 97 shipped. Kumhos are "ok". What do you want? Long lasting, quiet? Grippiest? Good in rain? the most common Kumho...a 712 is $100 shipped.

I would prefer something that will bite on the road, and also something that is long lasting, I am on the HWY alot, put 38,000 miles on my car in less than a year.

Falken 512...Consumer Reports #1 all season performance tire is a tire with good wear and decent grip.

As is the BFG GForce KDWS. all season, 400 treadwear. Sure you can smoke em...but they do ok.

I thought the BFG KDWS were really nice tires when I had them on one of my cars a while ago.

Just talked to my buddy @ discount again, and he said the BFG G force are probably my best bet... what is the pricing on them?
