Now that I think of it, I think the Wanli's are what I had when I got the rims... I guess I'll be going with the falkens then. I was leaning toward the neogens because they are supposed to wear better on a lowered car...

Get a good wheel alignment and you shouldnt have to worry about wear on a lowered car.

I go to college in the Hampton Roads area so I'm not really sure where to get an alignment done around here for a decent price... Any suggestions?

Well I've been looking up reviews on the falkens and I keep seeing things about low mileage out of them... Like 10-20,000 miles... I'm looking for something with more than this...

if youre going to be such a cheap ass and make everyone choose from shitassed tires it doesnt really matter what you get


i vote some michelin passenger tires rated up to 80k miles.



if you want to spend money for good tires i suggest eagle f1 gsd3's or some bfg kd's. at worse kdw's

You didnt seem to pick up on the whole not to worried about massive performance thing. I'll have a separate set of rims/tires for when I want to auto cross or do anything performance related. These tires are just for daily driving but I dont want a passenger tire in a 40 series

I've got Kumho's on my car and never had any problems. Dry and wet grip is good. Works well on ice and snow as long as you don't lose your mind. Tire Rack has a great site that allows you to read customer reviews. Great place for doing homework...
