Looking to get new tires for my car. Need a all season tire. But something with good wet dry and snow traction. But not empty my wallet. Have seen a few but figured asking u all would be smart. Seeing as u all have similar vehicals

General Altimax HP ($56 per tire at tirerack for 88H, $65 per tire for 88V).

General Altimax

The Generals are on closeout price (a bit cheaper than what I paid for mine last year - ~$75/tire for 88H)

Any Michelin (but they cost quite a bit more).

Been almost a year and they look great (barely worn at all).

well i can tell u dunlop sports wear out in six months, and these falken 512s are gone quick...

not many tires that Are good in snow will be great in summer.. especially cheap.

if u just want an all around tire, my dad has been buying uniroyal tiger paws for decAdes.
nothing speciAl... cheap and do their job.

i would get some cheap performance all seasons .. then blizzaks on steelies just for snow months


--------------------

Oh no, I'm so sorry... the correct answer is The Moops.

The packaging clearly stated '100'. I'm short ONE luft balloon.

I had tiger paws on my ranger. Good tires. But mainly wanted to stay under 100$ a piece. Found some performance all seasons. But didn't know if anyone has gotten tires on a car like mine and noticed things. Every car is different. So a lot factors in. Just don't have time yo really sit down and scope tire brands out for hours.

Also. Anyone know how big I can go tire size that will fit the car? Have stock steady rims.

you have an 05?

i think people have put 205/60 16's on with nonproblem

if you do the math its a cm wider and around 646mm +/- diameter

but people have run wide 18's without issue

are you trying to go wider? or want more sidewall? remember stock wheels are 6" wide so 195 is a perfect tread width for stockers 215 would work well also

Can't afford new rims. So was thinking wider tire. Wanted enough sidewall to not worry bout city roads. But have a slight sporty look
