Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Tires - ok to go cheap?

I'm debating between buying my rims and tires seperately or just going with the wheel/tire package...

Since a lot of you guys have already bought the no-name tires with your wheels as a package, what is your advice? Are you sorry you went with the package or are you glad because it saved you some money?

when i bought my wheel tire package i got khumo ecsta rubber with it. i like them and have no complaints

Ya but Kumho tires are good. I think hes talking about no name brands. I plan to get a wheel and tire package. If you don't like the rubber they come with, buy new ones and use the crappy ones during the winter when you won't be racing.

meh, i guess they are good, thats just what came with my package

the package I'm considering comes with Yoko Parada Spec 2's

-if you look around you may not have to compromise quality bro -

^ where did you find that

Yeah I'm waiting to see what brand they are, I already emailed them but I'm assuming they're no-name since they didn't actually state the brand.

i personally wouldnt go with no-brand tires...

unless you are driving like under speed limit all the time when you are on the wheels.

just to get a peace of mind with brand name tires..
they can save ur life or money sometimes.

go with kumho's they are aroung $80 to $120 and they a pretty decent quality instead of getting no name crappy tires.

tires are the most important thing you can put on your car ... dont get crappy ones... its like putting an ebay Intake and ractive exhaust on...

Yeah, I would definitely not go really cheap with tires. If they blow out while you're doing 70 on the highway..

yea my kumho's that i bought a couple of weeks ago cost $110 a peice

Man I paid that much for my Nitto 450's

yeah, if you buy a package you might be able to upgrade the tires for a little more money...I bought a package recently and they said they came with Federal Mogoul tires...which have a decent safety rating, but not for speed...so I asked if I cold upgrade, and they let me go Khumo's for like $100 more...

what are those appose to be better or something

evan, i got my falken tires from les shwab in redmond for about $550. that was for 17" tires. give them a call. its not the cheapest but i thought i would just tell ya.

where is a good place to buy tires for about $100-$115 that are for 18" and look good and are a good brand? any websites?

I had "Visa" tires on my last car. Not good. Everytime there was ANY rain I would spin my wheels at every green light, and I could feel my backend coming loose in turns. Plus the whole car just felt sloppy... and that was compared to stock rubber.

Buying cheapo tires is like training for a year to run a marathon, then doing it in flip-flops.

Hey thanks. I went to discount tire today and their cheapest "good brand" tires were like $100-$115 a piece.

Guess I need to save a little more money

Save up money and get some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or BF Goodrich T/A KDW. These tires are REALLY GOOD in both the wet and dry weather. Kuhmos aren't even in the same category as these. They will run circles around Kuhmos and Yokohama AVS ES100's.

definitely spend a little more bro, it'll pay off later

i was thinking about getting the $100-$115 at DTD. you think they're shit?

I think you're right.

Thanks for all the advice, peoples
