Allseason or just a summer performance tire? You should check out tirerack.com, lots of good info there.

I'm not a tire expert. But I've tried Nitto NT 450 tires as well as crap junk tires.Now I have a set of Avon Tech M500 tires per recommendation from people who go to track regularly. They were rated as UHP Summer Tires but they do great in the rain as well.I haven't really measured it but I believe I can stop my stock coupe from 40MPH within 25 feet without skidding with those tires.Get those from Tirerack.com Cheap and great performance.

Whats wrong with a nice set of Federal SS' or Runways.. or even Nexen N3000, or even Riken Raptors, Falken Ze- 912's, or even Kumho ecsta AST's... High performance tires are tires, but all those are under 100 bucks for relevantly high widths on up to a 18 inch, the Falkens may go over 100 if you have 18s, but i think for that model like 245/40/17 is like 100 dollars on the dot for them(on http://tiresavings.com ) .. if in not mistaken... i saw it on some cheeeapp tire site.. come on you guys, you are slackin on naming him good cheap tires... a good site is http://www.tiresavings.com

RS2 are awesome tires for the price.

I currently run Falken 452s on my 240 and I love them. The difference between these and my all season 512s are night and day.

High performance summer tires FTW

Tires=the most important thing on your car. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
