I think i'm going to get these. I know some people have said they have their problems with them, and they're cheap tires but it seems to be coming from those who haven't even owned them.

Needless to say they're $215 for 4 shipped to my door. Not bad!

I don't want to spend more than $250 and keep the STOCK SRT TIRE SIZE...any reccomendations are welcomed

I would never cheap out on tires. So I'm not going to be any help with this topic.

Well what are you running? I remember you mentioning something about tire tread in one of your threads...I don't want a tire that's always going to look dirty

And BTW, if it is any consolation, I live in a region where it rains once every 3 months and is always hot.

I don't think it's rained in about 4 months now

Cheap tires lead to failures. if your on the highway and have a blowout how much damage will occur? if not a wreck!
Good luck.
the old analogy. "You get what you pay for"

We all know cheap doesn't neccessarily infer quality...in most cases it does.

I'll buy them and if I flip over then you guys know FOR SURE not to get them.

HAHA

rofl your car wasnt exactly quiet in the video I saw.

Aren't you in the process of piecing together an srt turbo setup? Even shit tires should last longer than that will take, maybe you should spring for a bit better tires in anticipation of 200 whp. I highly doubt $50 tires will hook when the turbo spools, which equates to broken axles and shit when they start hopping.

Aren't Toyo proxes 4's relatively cheap and proven?

Yeah...LOL. But i've heard from some SRT owners that they're good tires. And my shit won't even be that fast.

BTW the car is so much quieter and less raspy without the SRT rear....crazy
