Best Tire for Under $200

I need some advice, I'm looking for the best all season or summer tire for under $200 for 245/35/20. Tire rack gave some reviews but I personally trust the advice of the Org more. These are the tires I'm looking at:

Sumitomo HTR 3 - $148
Sumitomo HTR 2 - $115
Yokohama S. Drive - $154
BfGoodrich Super Soprt A/S - $177
Yokohama AVID W4S - $137
Dunlop SP Sport Signature - $177

Thanks for any advice.

You might also look at the Falken FK452's they have a pretty decent wear rate 300 AA A. I have read a lot of reviews and they seem to hold up pretty well. You can get them at several places for around $110.00 as listed at the link below.

https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop...n=findCombined

But that link is the one of many that I have researched for tires.

A lot of it will also depend on how you drive and what you are personally looking for in a tire. Everyone has an opinion and they have their likes and dislikes on just about every tire. So take a look at how you drive and then make a decision.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to use these for spring/summer/fall driving only, I will use the OEM 18's for winter driving.

I love my Toyo Proxes 4...they were $148/piece (18") and are all-season.

How come a 20"tire in a 245/35/20 is less expensive than what I need. 245/40/18 in the fk452. Crap dont make sense

Because the 19" tire you need for the Nismo 19" rims is kind of an odd size and not everyone produces it. So pretty much you can get 20" tires in a more common size cheaper than the 19's. I believe you can even get a 245-35-19 cheaper because more people make this size tire.

I know I researched buying these tires for weeks before I finally bought the 245-40-19 Falken FK452's.

Umm if you were talking about me I mentioned 18's which are very common. I know 19's are expensive b/c they are not made as much and mainly just the oem use this size which them very expensive.
