Default help with tires.

to top all my problems, my tires wont last another beating.. my question is that are there any sets that will go less than a 1000 dollars?? what brand do you recommend (because i cant afford bf goodrich kdws no more ) and where you could recommend me getting them...

my tire sizes are..

front 225/40ZR/18
rear 265/35ZR/18

thank you

I think most tires even RE01R's in 18's go for less than a g usually ... I know tire rack had the RE01R's for 17's for about 750 dollars? I'm not sure though. But you can definitely get some decent rubber with 1g I think the one mike mentioned about was track proven and praised by a bunch of members here.

If you want a good tire at a cheap price, check out Falken Azeniz RT615. For your purpose, these should be perfect.

I'd give Owen a call @ REN Motorsports in San Mateo (owenxguo, i think, on the boards). He's always been helpful and given me good deals, though on stock sizes, not 18s.

Just my .02

Truth be told, those KDWs aren't that great. The RE01Rs are much, MUCH better tires.
