Seriously, instead of just putting ****ty tires on the rear, why not just dump $3000 into the suspension into the car, then you will have one that handles pretty dang good. Nice and responsive and gives you alot of feedback.
seriously, just go buy 2 new tires. on stock wheels, for some pretty decent tires you can walk away for under $150. Thats less than I pay for one tire out the door.
You do know that every tire shop and dealership around will put the crappy tires on the front of your car and the good tires on the rear right?

most places want to put the tires on the front since that is where you steer and move the car with. they don't realize that having the rear end swing out when you don't want it too is dangerous

I drove an 86 200SX for 4 years and let me tell you RWD is no fun in the rain or snow. Trying to stop on the Belt Parkway in a little bit of rain and I lost control, hit the guy in front of me and did a 270, looked to my right and saw cars barreling down on me, luckily they stopped in time. And that was only a drizzle, forget snow. i couldnt do over 8mph in the snow. I am VERY glad to have front wheel drive. I dont know why anyone would want that rwd drive, maybe Im getting old, I dont know!
