Nothing super outstanding performance-wise in that price range... you looking for tires for the stock 17's? All-seasons or summer-only?

If you go on discounttiredirect.com you can order a set of Hankook's for $91 a piece... I guess those are ok tires..

^^^if you can deal with the fact the RE-01R's posted above are summer-only, JUMP ON THIS IMMEDIATELY. That's an awesome tire.

Bridgestone RE01R is One of the best tires for grip you can buy. Not for any use in ice or snow whatsoever.

I'd say General Exclaim UHP or Nexen N3000 in that price range there, if you don't go with the RE01Rs.

I just put a set of those (18's) on yesterday and it rained today.
TERRIFIC traction in the wet.
Not so sure I would take it out in the snow with any tire where I live, it would never get up my driveway, (30% grade, 200' long)!

i feel for you guys that have to change out tires and wheels according to the season. I plan on using my Re010r's all year round, granted i wont see any snow and maybe 5 days at most of temperature in the freezing range.
