Ok I ordered my Konig Illusions and my wheel shop just got them but now I need to choose tires. Their telling me I can get the Falkens for real cheap but i'm wondering how good they are. I've been eye balling the Toyo tires for awhile and getting some awesome reviews but is it worth the extra money.

look at all the choices they have and research all of them on there reviews on cars similar to ours. But i voted for against the toyos bc they wear away really fast imo. My friend with a cobalt only had them last like 15k but then again it depens do you have the extra $$ bc better tires really do make a differance

I just got the Falken's installed on my dad's car, but don't have enough time with them to tell you how they are. I've driven on the Proxes 4 before on my previous car, and I agree with QR25DE that it's a great tire overall.

If you can handle the cost, go with the Proxes 4

Yeah for sure.

Also depending on what tire size you go with (I have 255/35/19) they are steel belt re-enforced for added stability.
