cheap tires?

ejazbmw · 12-11-2007, 03:00 PM

basically what the title states I'm ordering some M6reps 19's staggered and was wondering if I could go to my local pepboys or something to get tires for them. I would call but I'm at work and just wanted a quick respond, I don't want to spend 600bucks on tires due to well I don't have the money for that

If you want just cheap tires Im sure you can get a set for about $300 (+/-). If you want them to at least perform well I would recommend General Exclaim or Kumho Ecsta SPT. They are fairly inexpensive and are great tires for the money.

That few inches of tyre rubber is the only thing keeping you and the car on the road.

There are certain things you should never go cheap on. Such as Tyres, Brakes etc.

You may save yourself a few $$ but is it really worth it?

I do agree with you, but I'm not looking for some expensive performance tires I just need some nice all weather tires without breaking the bank.

go with the generals. best tire for your dollar imo..

DrDomer · 12-11-2007, 05:48 PM

Maybe look for a set slightly used... Usually you can get used tires at a good discount

You can, find a better tire FOR THE MONEY, then the General Exclaim Uhps. I have them on my car on the wheels I got from Jlevi. BTW if you have Jlevi put together a wheel and tire package, you will save a considerable amount of money as compared to just buying wheels and then getting your tires locally . They will give you a good price on any wheel and tire package. Added benefit to the Generals is that they have a very high tread wear rating and will last longer than softer summer tires.

The Fuzion ZRi is a great summer-only tire for the money.

go with the General tires.... best tire for the price and weighs 5lbs less a tire.... it also out performs many expensive tires....

best tire in wet conditions IMO

might as well buy the tire package with the rims right? since I think jlevi has generals
