Ok, i'm going to be purchasing tires within the next month or two.

I'm pretty confident in these....

http://www.discounttiredirect....s=245

I just want to make sure i'm not missing anything. I didn't want to spend more than $180 a piece, and these seem to be the best for the money and have a pretty good tread wear rating. (my stock tires are rated at 260)

any suggestions welcomed

BF Goodrich KDW II are really good tires. I suggest checking those out.

hey 08coupedriver, when you say the size was off; would 245/40/19 or 245/45/19 be better or worse?

and I checked out those BFs , but thats a little more than I want to spend.

So I think ive decided on the Falken 452s or the hankooks, ill just verify the size and check for some local prices. The only problem with locals is that I live in a small town and they are usually over priced but ill check.

Well if that website has them for i believe 161 which isnt too bad

I think 245/40/45/35/19 shouldnt be too badThos MOST your speedometer would be off by is maybe! 1 mph and thats a stretch

Look em up I love mine, they are great in wet weather, dry, and the tread is ok too

good luck bro

Well the whole 'recommended' size is so the car registers the speedometer better I think

as long as the wheel fits in the tire you should be fine
