Hey guys. Looking for some suggestion on new tires. I currently have Yokohoma VR4's 24/50/r16's. They don't make em anymore and even the newer versions they don't make in that size. I's love to have some BFGoodrich sport comp-2's but they seem pretty pricey at the shop. Guy at the ship said Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTZ All‑Season's were good. They've got a W rating which is nice too :P. I'm trying not to break the bank here. Have any of you used the tiger paws? Got any other suggestions? The tiger paws will run me in the $600 range once mounted and balanced. I don't really like the tread design as much as the VR4's and the comp 2's, doesn't look like it would channel water as well. Not saying I'm going to haul a$$ in the rain but still, I've had one wreck in the rain and since then I like to get the best I can for crap conditions. So I'm open to all your suggestions.

Edit: Something funny to add to this. I priced the comp 2's at Plaza tire, it's a popular place here in MO, and I've gotten tires there before for good prices so I took their price of $1200 con comp 2's to mean they were hella expensive regardless of what I found online. Went ahead and called our Sams Club and priced them there and they were only $700 mount and balanced and a plethora of other services O_O For $700 I'll probbaly go with the comp 2's but I'd still like to hear your inputs on what you guys use/like.

 

wow the choice for 16s suck now. better save for some new 17 inches. got a pretty good deal on sumitomo's

 

I had Sport Comp 2s on my Camaro for a while. Absolutely loved them. Lots of traction dry and wet. I can look, but I think I could paid $6-700 for them shipped to my door and another $50 or so for mount and balance

 

So it sounds like Sams pricing is right on. They'll also give me an $80 gift card to Sams or Walmart with the purchase so that's nice. Time to get rid of the VR4's. I was going to keep on them for the summer as they have very slight weathering on the outside but the other day I noticed a decent yet still small crack between one of the treads :/

 

the 245 50 16 ,certain sizes get popular or they get hard to find then they cost way to much ,i am going from 255 45 17 falken to bfg tires soon couse falken has gone up after sponcering many race events in the 16 they make 9 + 0 sizes from a 205 to 275 the 245 seems the best price ,got to shop for tires i never paid more them $300.00 for 4 falken tires .now there price is out there at over $400. to $500.00 for 17 inch discount tire direct now offers many different sizes ,i put a 225 55 16 on my base car ,$235.00 for 4 so under 300.00 installed .with the $100 off at ebay time to buy is early spring late fall

 

I put Firestone FireHawk Wide Ovals on mine. Love the traction over the original Goodyear, and are a very quiet rolling tire. I'd highly recommend them. My local Firestone shop matched the online price i found, and included free balancing.
