Default tire info needed badly!!

I am looking at putting some tires on my new wheels and am a bit overwhelmed. I am looking to spend around 6-7 hundred. Summit can get me 4 Riken for around 6 and 4 Cooper Zeons for 750. I had kuhmo ecstas on my last ss and loved them. Anyone have any info on the Rikens? I have my nittos on another set of wheels for the track. Just looking for good handling tires that will hug the road on cruise night. Wheels are 9.5x18, thanks guys.

If you are on that tight of a budget, you won't get an amazing tire. That said, I'm finding plenty that fit your price range on tires-easy.com.

They have the Sumitomos for $118/each, the Nexens for $124/each, and a Kumho Ecsta for $127/each. Those prices don't include mounting/balancing, so you'll have to save some cash for that.
