Default OEM WS6, need new tires on the cheap?

Okay, so i have Fuzion ZRis on the car now, and they are horrible in every way possible. no traction in the wet, and hardly any in the dry. the Fuzions would have lasted im sure if they weren't burning up all the damn time. . .


Im looking to tirerack.com for tires and the Sumitomo HZR II's have some good reviews for f bodies, and was wondering what you guys thought.


i just dont want a tire that breaks loose at WOT going 20mph, or even punching it in 2nd gear, but i dont want to spend money on an Eagle F1, or similar $2xx+ tires.


any of you guys have some cheapo tire suggestions? im sticking with factory size and want a good solid tire that delivers for a DD.

I like my Nexen N3000's. They are siped unlike the Sumitomo's so if you may get stuck driving in rain that is something to consider.

the regular 555 nittos are a good tire also the nexens and rikens are good cheap tires just dont expect great traction from a dig or a 1st gear roll.
