    Need advice on tires!

    I have 205/50r16's on now. I think they are cheap Fuzion zr1. Teh max I can spend on each tire is around 90. I need good gripping, long lasting, and preferably on the quiet side. My cousin works at wheelworks so I can get them for a good deal.

              So why not ask your cousin for a recommendation?

                      As long as you're not looking for a competition tire, the Fuzions aren't supposed to be half bad. If you can get Fuzions super cheap, get them.

                      I don't think Michelin Pilot Sports are available in 205/50R16. Also, they are not a good deal. They don't do anything excessively well except to drain your wallet very efficiently.

                          I have the BFGoodrich's g-Force Sport. I really like them and they go for about 80 bux in your size.
