I literally just bought Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position for $79 a tire from www.tirerack.com . The size I got were 205/50/15. Tirerack rates this tire really well. Look there for the ratings. It helped me a lot.
that is an amazing price for those tires.
blacisi00: if your tires are bald on the inside, then youre going to need new tires, even if youre alignment is fixed. i had the same problem, i lowered my car without getting an alignment and i chorded a pair of Bridgestone RE730's. i moved up the line and bought a pair of S03's and got an alignment, and i havent noticed any unusual wearing yet. You should try to have the same tires in the front as you do it the back, but nothing is going to happen if you dont. i would always reccommend putting the better tires in the front.
as for what tire to get, it all depends on what your needs are. if you need a tire thats going to be good in the rain, how you want your tire to perform, do you autocross? ETC. right now the S03's are argueably the best street tires on the market right now but they are a little pricey. i paid $126/tire for my 16's so if you can get 15's for $79.... id jump on that. Falken Azenis are very popular autocrossing tire, due to the fact that their treadwear is overrated. if you want to settle for something thats decent but not the best, id reccommend Bridgestone RE730's like someone else previously said.
www.tirerack.com has great reviews and feedback on all their tires.
