New tires?
I am in need of some new tires, the ones i have on now need to be replaced. I don't know much about tires at all, i was wondering what were some of your guys personal preferences for some summer tires that get good grip but wont wear out too fast. i mainly need just front tires. They are 215/45/17. I have some money to spend on them but dont want to go over board. Thanks for your help.

Re: New tires?
A tire that gets good grip and doesn't wear quickly doesn't exsist. One kind of depends on the other.
edit: And if you're only getting front tires, match what you have in the rear. Mismatching tires is dum.

Re: New tires?
I would rather have longer lasting over grip. Not like im making much power at all to need a lot of grip. But i dont want some POS set of tires that get no grip but will last foreverz.

Are you just putting around daily in the car or do you have any sort of performance aspiration for the car?
Having a car with performance parts and long life tires is dum. Of all the shit you put on your car, only one part actually touches the road.

Re: New tires?
I don't want to start another thread and since your question pretty much seems covered, I have one.
What is a good gripping tire? I want something I can street, an all season tire is not a must but a plus. If it lasts 10k miles, that's fine. I just can't stand spinning. I'm making somewhere close to 350whp. I will be in the market for tires here within a month or so and I need something that doesnt scream in fourth. I had a BFG Radial in mind, if you have opinions?
