For those on a budget. I just bought Pep Boys Futura GLHII tires for my car. I have to say they are pretty good tires. They are H rated and are excellent in the rain. They ride really smooth and they feel great on the car. And the set ran me just under $300. Just wanted to share.

Running 205/60/15 here too. I would go to 16's but I love my stock wheels. Maybe some E1's and 205/55/16. I got to try the new meats in the snow too. They suck when starting up but they cut through slush really well. They corner pretty stable and you have to push them pretty hard to get any slip (when its dry naturally).

One of the major car magazines did a test on the Pep Boy tires, the Futura brand I believe and got GREAT results from them. The tests performed were 0-60, 1/4 mile and braking, etc. The tires actually beat the other "brand name" tire, which was some Goodyear (does anyone actually buy Goodyear?) Hats off to you for going out on limb and buying those tires, good job

dude no offense but that isnt a great price in my opinion. I got 4 Yokohama Avid Touring tires in 205/60/15 (whatever the factory size is) for 45.00 a tire from tire rack. It was about 200 shipped for all four, and then 40 dollars for the install. It ran my under 245 installed with tax. They get great reviews and have 80,000 mile warranty.

Futura is made by Cooper. They are a decent tire.

i got my YKS tires for around $150 or less, mounted and balanced. It's fun knowing your tires suck and I'll be replacing them in the summer, so I can have fun on them right now.
