Hello all, my current tires are past due for replacement! I don't have the cash for new rims yet so I'm just going to put new tires on the original rims pictured here (http://www.showcardetailing.com/foru...read.php?t=478) They are 16s if I remember correctly. I deal with little to no winter weather. Spirited street/mountain driving will be the extent of their use. Best bang for my buck?

 

My current favorite street tires are the Continental DW or DWS. The DW is summer only, so if you ever see freezing temperatures or snow they're not suitable. The DWS don't grip quite as well but will deal with freezing temps and snow.

 

I went with Hankook Ventura V4 ES 205-50-r16. With a relative's employee discount I got them out the door for $420

 

The Hankook Ventus V4 ES is fine on a budget, better on comfort and noise than on handling in dry or wet vs other UHP All Season tires.

Otherwise Kumho Ecsta 4X is in the same price range (Both are 420 treadwear)-

In the same tire size for a good Summer tire in the same budget then-

Continental ExtremeContact DW
$89 each, 340 treadwear

Better on handling than an UHPAS tire but still good on street comfort, but does wear faster.
Not for cold weather or any snow. Light weight at 19 lbs each.
