Default tire slashed, help with new ones!

well my falken azines (sp) got slashed, i just noticed it today (thank god). its pretty bad and im for sure not taking a chance driving on it.. btw thanks to the asshole that did this, its quite obvious it was a razor, or somthing similar that cut it.

anyways. I am just going to replace the front 2 since im broke and cant do all four (rears are fine anyways)... I have the older style azenis and i really love the tire.. I wish i could get the same but it appears there gone.. whats a comparable tire??? falken rt615?? this is a every day car but i put 3 miles a day on it, i just want a tire thats good in dry, OK in wet (usually drive the other car when raining) but sticky as the old falcon.. price DOES matter but i want to hear all options.. thank you very much

If someone just slashed your tires, I would be very hesitant about going out and getting new tires slapped on.

There are a vew used performance tires around tampa where you can get all 4 tires for super cheap.

I get my Z's tires used and they are 275/35/18 in the rear and 245/40/17 in the front.. It costs me 220~ for all 4 tires and they usually have 80% tread left.

i dont really want used tires. im pretty sure it was just some dickhead being cool with his friends.. i honestly dont know of anybody that would want to do it to me, i dont hang out with that many people and surely dont have any enemys that im aware of.

New tires, used tires..No difference except a huge difference in price..

Maybe its just me though. The tires I was buying for my Z new were 260 dollars each. I found this used place, picked out the tires I liked.. And noticed they even gripped better and were 60-80 bucks each.
