Hey everyone, I was just wondering what are some good recommendations for tires that fit the stock wheels? I'm getting new tires tomorrow and I'm wondering what brands/models are the best (in the respective prices ranges) and not all that expensive.

Any help before about 1pm tomorrow is greatly appreciated! :D

I paid about $500 for my Potenza G009's.

As in the linked thread, I love my BFG G-Force Sport tires. Picked 'em up from tirerack.com for less than 1/2 the price of the shitty Goodyear RS-As.

Amen to that! I had the G-forces on my GA & loved them. I also show your lack of enthusiasm for the RS-A's.

Thanks for the info so far guys, I forgot to add though that these tires need to be somewhat multi-weather/season tires considering I live in the oh-so-changing-climate of Missouri, doh!

If you need a good all-season tire, forget about the G-Force Sport (Summer only) or any real performance tire for that matter. :) Having dedicated summer and winter tires is a whole lot better if you can swing it, then the tire doesn't have to be a compromise between the 2 seasons.

I put on Goodyear Assurance Triple treads for year around. I like the feel of them alot better over the Eagle RS-As that came with the car. Goodyear assurance triple treads also have a 80 mile warranty were most preformance tires don't have a warranty.

Thanks for the all the input guys. I got Hercules Ultra Plus IV (touring) tires, they are P205/55R16 89S. It is amazing how good a new set of tires does for a car in terms of acceleration, braking and cornering. :D
