I am having a hard time deciding between 3 types of tires I want...All under the $100 range. I am broke and live on my own and I need all season tires pretty bad cause mine are getting bad and are warped. I can't afford rims right now either so I am gonna keep it at that.

Neros in 225/50/16

Contis in 225/50/16

Potenza G 009 225/50/16


I hear great things about all of them... I also want good looking ones and Neros are the best looking... They lack in snow compared to others but the Conti's on tirerack do not have Road hazard and that is an issue. I also heard some negs on the Potenzas...

I took a look at the Kumos, Sumotos and Avons and they seemed good priced but I don't really know of those brands too much and those do not have as good as ratings as the first 3 tires.

I kno I can stay in stock sizes but I mine as well go down a little bit in profile that way I can get a tiny bit better corning and looks... I would like to go lower pro but I will next year when I get rims and drop the car a little because the last thing I want is massive fender gap.

 

First of all, there are tons of different "Neros" out there and a bunch of different "Contis" out there. You need to be specific about what model you're going toward if you want our advice.

Second, you need to consider Toyo Proxes4 and Falken Ziex 512 if you need a budget all-season tire. Both are decent choices (the toyos would be my TOP choice around $100). Also the Avon 550 is a good choice and is decent in snow (we have them on my wife's car)....

Third, NEVER buy any all-season tire that says "Potenza" on it....ask anyone here why...

 

I will link them...

I also can't find Toyo proxies 4s anywhere... I would like to get them off of tire rack and I want them to be under $100-ish and have road hazard... Also instead of me making another topic.. care to explain why not to get Potenzas? I heard mixed reviews...

 

You can get the Toyos thru www.edgeracing.com (good company) also check www.discounttiredirect.com (good company + free shipping)

I would look at the Kumho ASX for a budget tire, I've had good luck with Kumho.

 

What about the RE92

Yeah thats pretty true, i find most bridgestone tires over priced. Although the RE050 is a good tire, its damn pricey.

And yes your description is so vauge, thats like asking what should i buy a honda toyota or nissan. Theres more then 1 type.

For a budget all season the proxes 4 is a good buy, id stay away from the ZE512's, alot of people seem to have problems with those more or less balancing issues(cheap tire). Also check out some of the Hankook tires for the price they seem to be good tires! Ventus HR2, V4 ES105. The 02 has the V4 ES105's and for how me we got them for (115CAD each) they are very good, football field lenghts better then the RE92's which were on before.

 

I think I am leaning towards the Neros because I am seeing good reviews on them and I like the looks a lot. The Toyos look good but I have seen some reviews saying the get loud and were out quick past 15k. Not sure what kinda of car or align he had but that still does not make me feel like I wanna buy them.
