Thread: A good 225 60 16 tire for $ 100?

I have a 2000 SE all stock to my knowledge and my current tires are Eagle LS's. (not impressed!)

Can anyone recommend a all around solid $100 tire that is 225/60/16.

I live in and out of the Smokey mountains, meaning half time curvy roads and half not.

Main aspects I was looking for:

Cornering, noise and tread life.

95 would be my highest speed ever.

I was looking at Yokohama yk580's, but this whole tire search has become a huge headache with the little time I have to search.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Nimo

General Altimax HP's are on my car now and I really like them minus their performance in deep snow, but I think my next set is going to be Kumho Ecsta's.

kuhmo ecsta are not bad....generals are garbage wear out fast and suck in the snow

Very good tires around your price range.

bridgestone is a decent mid range tire and never been a fan of firestone

look up cooper cs4 very good tire and in that common of a size it shouldnt be an issue finding it for less then 100 per tire.....they wear great...only bad thing about them is they are a silca tread compound which will make noise when cold but is also what makes them sticky when warm....good through the snow as well, I sold tires for 2 years and did alot of product schooling and what not....hell i have michelin primacy mxv4 on my 06 great in the rain and dry but terrible in the snow....coopers are way better and cost less

its a mid priced tire with high grade quality my whole family runs them sold so many its unreal....really nice tire IIRC they spent 200million dollars on developing just the tread compound not even considering tread design.....great tire

Thanks everyone! Great feedback!

I forgot to add they should handle well in wet conditions, snow is not a concern for me.
