guys i was wondering what is a great low profile tire thats pretty cheap and all purpose.

 

Falken Ziex or Kumho Ecsta's

 

i have 18" Sceptors on mine theyre good tires and were only $100 a piece

 

I am looking into getting the Kumho's as my next set as well.

 

i've noticed that both of those tires wear fairly fast, so when you get them for cheap realize they wont last as long as say a michelin performance tire

 

I"ve had the falkin's and i would NEVER buy them again! horrable in the rain!!! also VERY VERY noisy especially after you get a few miles on them!

I highly recomment the Dunlop SP Sport FM901 $98 if you go 225/40/18 awesome in the rain and quiet! i would also highly recomment the Sumitomo HTR+ $93 in the same size. both are on tire rack. the Sumitomo's should be better all season and not quite as god in the rain but all in all excellent tires. i have the dunlops in a set of 18's off my grand am gt that are going on this car when i wear the pirelli's out.

You can also get the pirelli P-Zero Nero's for about $125 they look like excellent tires too!

 

I've had my Falken's for over a year and no problems at all. They suck a little in heavy rain, but I tend to avoid driving in it. My car's suspension takes over to compensate for that anyways - good thing that $2500 can get you a good suspension system.

Those Dunlops are pretty good, what's the sidewall strenght like? I though i heard they were a little on the soft side.

 

i have federal ss595's and i love them. they are pretty cheap too.

 

never had any problems with them. they stood up to a pretty good hit when i cracked my 18 in half when a pot hole got hungry and damn near swallowed my grand am. and they effin rock in the rain!!!
