Ok, so I'm trying to pinch a penny and I've looked at some really cheap tires, and from the reviews, the main complaint is they are a bit noisy and have a hum. The tires I preordered are at discountire awaiting pick-up, but I may return them and get the cheapies. The difference is $538 installed to $382.2 installed. I don't AutoX and only rarely do I go over 100mph.

What I already ordered: http://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/riken/245%252F40-18+riken+riken+raptor+z+++93w.html And I know they hold up to high speeds. And had a set on my old MZ3.

What I'm curious about: http://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/sunny/245%252F40-18+sunny+sn3800+97w.html


Thoughts....

try directbuytires.com i got my 275's for $103 ea.

I've used the Raptors (on my daughter's old Beretta) and they were pretty good...don't know about "Sunny" brand, but tires aren't something to cheap out on.

agreed tires are probably the most important part of any car.

Well I know know the Raptors are legit. They are made by Michelin and I had them on my MZ3 until I traded it and just moved them over to my A4 and they still performed great. My thoughts were more so on the Sunny's. I know tires aren't something you go cheap on, but I've got to get the winters off soon.

Hmm,, I wish I could get tires cheap.. I just dropped $224 on ONE tire for my car.. But I guess thats what you pay for when your running on 22's

What the heck are you driving these days man Good to see you around still!

I have Kumho Ecsta AST's on mine. My friend had them on his STI. I think I paid $70 a piece for them and they have all the load, speed, and tread ratings that the speed6 can handle (except 130mph H rating). On the onlinetires.com website they start at $60 and the WRX is listed as a sample vehicle. Might be another option for you to check out...

lol, ya Im still around,, I never left,, been here the whole time buddy... and I traded in my 6 for a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. I have a set of 22's on it.. Its my lil 7 passagner family wagon


the tires im running are Hankook Ventus ST Nice and wide at 305/40/22 hehe

I'm in the market for 245/40/18's or 245/35/18's. The Kuhmo's jump in price at that point.

hell, I'll sell you my stock tires from my 2010 MS3 for 300 =) They are just taking up room in my place right now.

I got some tires off of ebay for like 280.00 for all four...there decent for the price but suck in the snow...good for summer. I believe wheelfire.com has some cheap prices!

Site doesn't load.

Ahhhhh, you had an "s" after tire in the 1st one. Thanks!

I'm probably going to order from directbuytire.com. All four tires for $354 shipped.

It's funny all 4 tires for the FD cost me just a little more than ONE tire for my POS daily driver truck...
