These tires hook up very well in the rain and the dry, rarely squeal, and have a cool looking tread design. $122/tire, but worth every penny. I got the 205/50ZR15 size which is asymetrical. I highly recommend these tires. Dan Parmelee 1999 Acura Integra SiR-G coupe "I heard Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms" "Word, bitch! Phantoms like a muhfuka"

Otherwise, you probably left an extra Franklin at the tire shop.
