Drift Motion Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 my advice: dont cheap out on tires... however, I had some Achilles ATR Sports, they were good for the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspeed98 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 You should be able to find continental dw or dws for around 150 per anywhere. Pretty good tires. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=0&autoMake=Subaru&autoYear=2008&autoModel=Legacy+Sedan+2.5+GT+Limited&autoModClar=With+OE+Rubber+Valve+Stems&width=215/&ratio=45&diameter=17&sortCode=49500&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=H&minLoadRating=S&tab=All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08Legacy08 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Nanking has been around since the 1940s... Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation has Ford Motor Company's Q1 Certification and in 1994 obtained ISO-9001 accreditation. I would try them out for the price.

nightspeed98 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 no, i was offering the best tire that's affordable as per Tirerack's own testing. kumhos are good too and maybe 2/3 the price. I will never pay the prices some brands require, i'm not a logo whore, but you gotta realize, next to the brakes, that's one of the most important things on a car that should never be subpar.

bluesuby Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would stay away from Chinese tires....even if they enjoyed high marks from Ford. You can get 4 Conti DWS tires mounted and balanced for well under $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outahere Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Kumho, Nitto, Falken, General, Cooper, or Sumitomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspeed98 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Kumho, Nitto, Falken, General, Cooper, or Sumitomo. nitto's aren't cheap. can't comment on any of those except Falkens (912 suck in snow on FWD) General is owned by Continental IIRC. Kumhos are ok as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Go to Tirerack, punch in your vehicle, and on the left hand side, move the slider down to <=$100 per tire. Check out your results, and make sure you look at the Survey results for that tire. Pick something that doesn't suck horribly. Then, once you find something, check other places for cheaper prices and/or free shipping, such as http://www.tirebuyer.com or http://www.discounttiredirect.com Then buy them. Don't cheap out on your tires too much. Remember, those are the only 4 parts of your car that actually keep you on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashadg1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I too ran the Achilles ATR Sports I paid 85.00 for a 225/35R19. Quiet, comfortable, decent traction, and got 30k out of them. Bought them again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashadg1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 did you get them at Onlinetires.com in Santa Fe Springs, I may have paid something like that as well, it was 80 something. Drift what is the width of your rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 nope, through my friend's shop in Baldwin Park 19x8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashadg1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Got it, I need 8.5's or 9's and have been looking for them at a decent price. Was going to get my rims dipped black and add 3/4 inch spacers. The cost is almost silly when I could just get new rims with them set up wider and already black.
