need new tires and dont really want to spend too much, looking for all season tires for daily driving with the stock bbs rims. which tires do you guys recommend that's nomore than $400?

i've tried searching and it didnt really come up with much about the price and reviews. mostly it's only people trying to sell tires.

Contact neal from tirerack. You should be able to find his user id but i believe it is neal@tirerack or something like that. He will probably chime in on this thread anyways.

Falken's new 912, I had 512, now 912 replaces it. Falken tires are nice and cheap. Falken are awesome.

edgeracing.com has some great prices. I always buy from them and couldn't be happier w/ their level of service.

I have the new falken 912's on my EVO and they drive nice. They work like champs even in this chicago winter. So falkens new 912s get my vote

I have used the Kumho ASX's for over 14,000 miles, with very good results so far. I got them from tirerack for about $86/tire.

For All Seasons Continental Extreme Contacts are great for the money. Right around $100 per tire. I've been driving on a set for a few years (during winter) and they wear awesome, and drive well.

Will be a little tough for under $400. In that price range your best bet is the Sumitomo HTR+ or Kumho ASX. Nice tire, I've used them before. If you can spring a little more, look at the Yoko Avid W4S.
