Default Cheap Tires?!?
Been looking around the Edge Racing website, and they've got some good prices. Check out the prices on 195/50/15's....starting @ $37 for BRAND NEW TIRES! Would make some GREAT rear tires I think.

hell at 37 for a new tire, any tread pattern will make for a good rear tire. HAHA

Factory is 15x6, I'm pretty sure. 195/50 is a pretty small tire, but for a dedicated drift tire, who knows. That tire will also lower your car by about .75", so watch all of your low hanging stuff.
