Looking for tires
Tomorrow, I'm going to get some new rubber. Mostly because of the fact that the tires on there now are "well used" to say the least. So, before I make this set go bye bye in a bleach smoke glory, I'm deciding to get one of the three sets of tires on all four wheels. I need help deciding.
Tire Details - Discount Tire Tire Details - Discount Tire Tire Details - Discount Tire I'm mostly concerned about the tire life since it's a daily driver and I have no money, but I really want them to stick in turns too since I'm looking to join a racing society. Noise is the least of my worries since I have Flowmaster Super 40's to drown the sound out. I'm leaning more towards the BFG's but it's too close for me to make a solid decision. Also, throw me some recommendations for tires you really like if you want, but I'm looking for something under $140.

Yeah, there is no standard for treadwear measurement, so the numbers are fairly unreliable. It'll get you an idea of how long the tire will last, but it's far from accurate. I'm just wondering if theres anyone that has used at least one of these tires and can tell me if their any good or not, or if someone bought a tire they really like and can recommend them to me.
