i need new tires

[eclipse13]

OK. My dad is buying me new tires within the next week. What are some good tires for all weather, daily driving. I dont want anything to expensive, but i want a good performing tire.

any help will be apreciated.

I've had really good luck with the Dunlop Sport A2. Work terrific in weather, and quiet in the dry with good feedback and no harshness. I only wish they had one of those racey-racey tread patterns.

yokohama ES100's, look great, and handle great, wet and dry.

^^^how much do those run? I was looking at some yokahama's. My friend has them. Thanks guys. Anyone else with suggestions, feel free.

Goodyear Eagle R-SA's are great tires for all around. I have them on my eclipse and my wife's focus.

Can your dad buy me tires too? Heh. Dang, you go it good, kid.

Nothing too expensive? that all depends on what you think is expensive.

If you just want something to roll on, there are always the no name, non-matching set of tires you can get at your local tire store. One could be from China, another could be from the Czech Republic. It's all a suprise on what you'd get. Kinda fun that way.

If you want something that handles Yoko Paradas are pretty good. The Kumho Ecsta (sp?) is pretty good as well. Both have 300 thread wear rating or close to it. $100 a pop. Falken has some good values too.

Beware of some of the cheaper tires though... my friend has two mid line Toyos on his front wheels and they spin like crazy on wet. Even under normal acceleration.

it suprised me that he was going to buy them. I am not used to having things handed to me. I was planning on saving up and asking him if we could split the cost. And he was like, "james, you dont have a job, ill cover it"
i was like, dad, you are a pimp

He was lookin and i think he wants to get me some yokahama's

How many tires have you driven?

Goodyear RSA's are one of the worse tires out there. Even my ghetto Sumitomo HTRII all seasons are better in dry/wet/snow, and they cost a fraction of the price.

I reccomend anything by Yokohama. By far one of the best tire makers out there, IMO, although they have a habit of making a lot of road noise.

Yoko AVS ES100's are very affordable tires. You'll have a tough time finding another tire out there like them in the same price range. My brother has them on his VR6 GTI and loves them. Go to www.Tirerack.com for pricing.
