Which Tires Are The Best

I have the stock 15" steelies and I do burnouts alot so I need to replace my front two tires soon because they are almost out of tread. I'm not upset that I need to replace the tires because the stock ones sucked majorly especially in the rain they would spin like crazy. Basically I plan on leaving the stock tires on the rear since they have plenty of tread (there is only about 5000 miles on them) but I want to replace the front tires with some sort of performance tires so I wanted to know what everyone recomends. I don't want to spend a lot of money I just want some quality tires.

Also does anybody know if 205/60R-15, 205/55R-15, or 205/55R-15 tires will fit on the stock 15" steelies since wider tires are better.

if you can afford it you should replace the rears along with the front. if you get a sticky tire in the front and have those stockers on the rear youre gonna find a whole new experience the first time you try a hard corner.

Um...ever hear of tire rotations?

On that note, any of those tires you're going to have to replace sooner than the stock ones based on the way you say you drive, so just go with the cheapest. (which should be the Falkens)

ROTATION, ROTATION, ROTATION!... I guess this lack of concept isnt suprising considering he needs new tires after 5000mi. Burnouts are cool and all, but i think he has gone a little overboard with em.
