I recently got new rears (stock s02's) and now I need new front tires, and I don't feel like paying another $300.

What tires would you guys recommend for the front of my car. I'm looking for summer tires with decent traction and good tread wear that will cost me less then the oem s02's. Also, what size is appropriate for the front on stock ap1 wheels.

Thanks for any help.

 

I think you're best bet is to buy the OEMs for the front. They should last twice as long as the rears and when you've run through the two rear sets consider 17" wheels. You'll have a lot more options then.

 

It is not such a good idea to mix front and rear tire models.

 

Okay.

guess i am just going to go with oem. I'de rather pay more if saving money = unsafe.
