Default looking for tires

i bought a set of staggered c6 rims. 18x9.5 up front and 19x10 in the rear. looking for an all around set of tires that wont break the bank. not a DD car, just the weekends when its nice out. would still like it to be safe in the rain. any suggestions? looked at nitto because seems everyone runs those and they dont have tires that will fit my car. (no 19 inch that will fit my rim)


Thanks in advance

so far i like bfg kdws and conti dws tires. but if there is one that is cheaper that is just as good or close to performance wise id like to know.


anyone try the hankoook ventus v12 evos? they are 100 less per tire but get the same ratings accordint to some sites....curious about these

I liked my BFG KDWS, but the Conti Extreme Contact DWS gets stellar reviews and is a lot more affordable than other tires of similar quality, like the Michelin Pilot Sport AS. If the Contis come in your size then get them.

Where is the best place to get them? Is there a sponsor that sells tires?
