    205/50/15's cheap?

    Does anyone know where I can get some economy-priced 205/50/15 tires? The current low bid is $225 for 4 of them, shipped. And no, I don't give a fuck about the performance rating as long as they're not going to fly off and kill things.

    Don't think I could beat the price if I tried. Glad you set things straight on performance, you KNOW I was going to ask:p

    Yeah the ones I'm looking at are Kumho Ecsta 711, I believe... Good shit, good price. I'm not sure that 60 sidewall is right though... I think 195/55 and 205/50 are my only plus-size options. I'll try to find the 716's in one of those sizes online. Thanks for input!

    this was fer my mom's 626... should have smaller tires, though... the rear tires are less than an inch from the bottom of the spring...

    btw, that's the size that was stock on the car... next time, we get smaller tires

    711's are good tires...
    ...yeah, the 195/50 setup will work fine... ...it'll just be a little bit skinnier then the 205's

    Aww man I know your chasing price, but it ain't worth the $20 you'll save, the 195/50 size is quite a bit smaller than oem and they make the 15" rim look really small and funky. Only use that size cause you have to, Like if your trying to run the wrong offset.

    Hey ask yourself how many times you've pulled a $20 out of the ATM machine and 2 days later you can't remember what you spent it on. Here's you chance to know what you spent $20 bucks on.
