Tires?
Hey guys, I just got a 96 Cobra and it's going to need tires soon. What are some good tires that aren't too expensive? Just wondering what some of you guys would reccomend. (245/45/17)
Thanks.
Joe

Kumho's.
You can get them from Tirerack.com. Last time I bought them they were like $80 a piece, which is cheap as hell for 17's and they're a decent tire.
*Edit - Here ya go

I'll have to go with the Kuhmo's as well. The last set of tires I put on my Mustang before I sold it were the Kuhmo 711's. They were dirt cheap and actually had fairly decent traction.
Falken also makes some decent, inexpensive tires.

i'd go with cooper cobra's or futura ultra z's (same tire)
they have always treated me well......... wear fast, but they grip well
i think the kumhoes suck ass, they are cheap but do not grip worth a shit. IMO
i'd also go with a 275 on the rears, more bite.........
