Zefy Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 alrighty... i'm getting new tires for my 79 brat... SWEET... the kumho's i'm running right now are falling appart at the seams... starting, stopping, turning is all becoming a challenge with these tires... especially in rain... yikes... near rear-endings are plentifull in my car... so i wanted to get these... http://www.coopertire.com/us/en/Pro...Passenger+Tires a friend of mine can get them for $60 a tire...(cheap cheap for the tire) but my parents don't want to throw down 240 bucks on a set of tires which will most likely be treadless in 2 years... (since i am in school they are paying for my car pretty much... because my bro's car was free... while mine was not... livin' it easy!) so i need to get an all-season tire... one that has a good life-span... so i ask you all... i want something with a decent tread pattern that i can rally, light 4x4, commute, ect... a tire that'll make me happy and safe while keeping my parents wallets happy... (i feel kinda bad... lots of stuff breaks on my car...) avoiding walmart, cosco, canadian tire brands... looking for real tires here... also keeping stock size... 175/70/13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rguyver Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 just get some BFGoorich TA's there cheeper then most and i had a set out last 3 Subarus and 5years i still have them on rims in my back yard , but you are still looking at $300+ CA$ all mounted and ballenced , with tires you get what you pay for and its the only thing that actualy makes your car go , Keep the rubber side down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesley willis Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 i got a full set of all weather tires for my gl hatch at canadian tire...about 220 dollars later. treads lookin fine after almost a year of driving. i know they are crap tires, but at the time my financial situation was not what it is now.

Zefy Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 alright i made a choice! went and picked them up this afternoon... after talking with the guy at my yokohama dealer he suprisingly enough talked my dad into getting snow tires! (they were also cheaper then the avid t4's which were going to be my choice if he hadn't started talking... so i got BF Goodrich Winter Slolam tires... apparently they are a harder rubber then normal winter tires which should make them last longer... he said i should be able to get 4 years outa them... so i'm happy... i got agressive(fairly) snow tires instead of all-season! thanks for you imput guys!
