Default Tire Question

Got my tax refund money on way and it's already burning a hole in my pocket.
Believe I'm going to get new set of tires for my '90 coupe.

Any recommendations on brand and type? Looks and lack of noise (and price) of major
concern.

I have looked at Goodrich G Force Sport and there is one Kumho I like.
I like the so called "Agressive" look. Kind of a waffled tread pattern, not like regular.

Any suggestions? Thanx.

I would def. go with the bf goodrich... my father works for michelin so im a little biased (michelin makes bf goodrich)... if you can afford some michelin pilots, then grab those, those are probably the best tires on the market (michelin is making a pilot tire specifically for the new 09 zr1) But the goodriches are a great choice too. I just put these on my 95 in jan. and love them

Tire rack has some pretty good prices and depending on where you are, they are cheap to ship...
Good luck!

For a decent cheaper tire, Sumitomo are pretty good. I picked up two of them for the rear. I am running P315/35ZR17 and I got them for $199 each.

I got 4 Sumi's for $500. They are fine, except for flat-spotting after sittin' for more than a week (it's not a DD). Still, they unroll after a mile. I'm happy

Looks and price won't go together I don't think there, Rudedog...

That's pretty much always the case isn't it CWB?

Believe I've got it settled down to a set of

Cooper Zeon 2XS

I don't have a picture to post but they have the aggressive tread pattern
and look pretty damn good.
