I gotta replace my tires

I have the (gulp) I would think stock tires on this thing - 215/60R15, what sizes can I change to, what would be a recommended inexpensive size/brand? Thanks for your help!

Being you like to drive kinda quick, maybe you should save your money and get some good Z rated ones.

I get pretty hard on people for skimping on there wheels and tires.

Dunlop sport SP8000 are not a bad line a bit on the soft side and they wair quickly but not to expensive. Also BF Goodrich KDW arent bad but a bit more pricey. Both are Z rated or better and both are good tires.

Re: I gotta replace my tires

I dont care for Fuzions honestly they have a unpredictable give point, not good for hard driving, but they are a good cheap tire. You can get them through tire rack for around 80 dollars a tire.
