The cheapest tire available for the SS/SC. 440 shipped

These tires are GREAT for a person who has a daily driver SS/SC Cobalt and just need some cheap tires to bomb around on. However I have NEVER chirped the tires in second with my car with a smooth first to second shift until I got these tires. Even with a controlled, half throttle launch I still get horrid wheel spin in first gear. In the curves the Ecstas grip can only be described as "moderately enthusiastic". Staying about 10 mph over the limit on some backroad twisties The tires will hold up fine. However the Ecstas will complain if I force them too hard into the apex =\ NO FUN. I only purchased these tires because I didnt want to burn up an $800 set of T/A KDW's just driving back and forth to boston/erie/south carolina/dunkirk/ etc.

 

don't you mean 600$ set of TA KDWs?...153$ a piece on tirerack...

 

Shipping and installation too? Is that stock size?

I was exaggerating anyway =)

 

ok ok..like 700....i had a set of the dunlop's similar to the kumho's but a few bucks more and they had pretty good traction an tread life for the money you paid....go out about as fast as the p zero nero's an they arent verry good in the rain..i've since switched to the TA KDW's an won't buy anything else...cept maybe try Falken

 

225/45/ZR18s are $176 man.

 

idk i have these tires but i got them abit wider than stock and they grip like hell in the turns

 

same here i love um

 

i got mine the same size for the 440 shipped. i love these tires...way less hop than the old tires i was using...(blizzaks-i live in maine ppl)
