Need new tires...suggestions?

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Have a nasty wobble in my front right wheel, can't really feel it in the steering but you can feel it on the floor and what not, and when taking corners..but after 50mph it goes away. Took my dad for a ride and he thought it was a shifted belt in the tire...so I rotated the tires front to back, and nothing changed...

So this morning I took it to a tire shop, the manager drove the car, and said yep, it's a bad belt. I told him I rotated them and he said hmmmmm. So they put the car up on the lift, and confirmed 3 of the 4 tires are shit, belts shifted in all of them.

The brand of tires are "Fuzion", they ride/handle very nicely and I got all 4 off Craigslist for $150, with less than 1,000 miles on them. But the manager at the tire shop said they are junk tires, but they handle/ride nicer than a set of Falken's that I had on the car before these...which I ATE through...LOL, soft tires FTL.

So I'm looking to order some tires off TireRack here in the next couple weeks, any suggestions? I want an all-season performance tire, NOT a summer tire. It must be rated for at least 40,000 miles and do well in the rain...

Looking to spend less than $400 shipped for all 4 (shipping is about $50 for 4 tires). I've read several reviews on many different tires and some love them, and some hate them...hmmm

Any suggestions for what brands/series I should be looking at? Thanks guys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Yokohama makes a nice tire. I also had some Pirelli (not sure of model) that gripped like hell and lasted forever.

My favorites are kumho for their handling in the wet. I let my father drive my car and he ran over part of a street sign that someone cut down. when I got it back it had a set of Kenda radials on it and I like those quite a bit, not sure what he paid but it probably wasn't much.

Goodyear Eagle GTII's

That's what's on the Integra and they're great.

Nexen.

Cheap. Easy to mount. Take a lot of abuse. And LOADS of treadlife.

I just ordered a brand new set of factory Saleen 19's for my Saleen...I decided to get rid of the heavy boat anchor 20's....I've been looking at new tires...and decided on the Pirelli Run Flats...that way I'll have more trunk space for my system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Bridgestone owns fuzion tires, theyre not junk, your dealer obviosly wanted to sell you some tires. I always use discounttiredirect.com, they have a ton of tires that size, and shipping is always free

I heard good things about them, and I actually love the way they handle/ride, and they're extremely quiet. I might order a set off TireRack, they are only like $50 a piece...Oddly enough, the tire place I took my car to didn't try to sell me a **** thing, it was never brought up...

Eh, who knows...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Cooper makes a great tire.

michelin. They also have a low Rolling Resistance which means you could pick up anywhere from 2-10 % better gas milage if properly inflated, even a little over. like 42/40
