Tires Nexen or FEDERAL

Federal 595 are great for the price. $80 for some super sticky stuff

Try, Federal RS-R. It should be equal to XS in performance but cheaper. I have the 195/50/15 on Miata and I think it is better than my previous Falken Azenis.

The wheels look absolutely great and they drive great, the driving feel with such a light wheel is amazing. One of the wheels wasn’t perfectly round and had a small hop to it... I put 1500 miles on them and the vibration never bugged me, even on a road trip to Chicago.

Got my tires yesterday and went and got them mounted this morning. Liking them so far, hardly any stretch. I'll have my coilovers in a couple weeks then to see how they are on the car. 165/55/14 Federals on 14x6 wheels

Kumho tires and Nexen tires are 2 chinese brands I highly recommend. I have both on my vehicles. Kumho on my car,Nexen on my truck.

I learned my lesson with the 165/45 15 federals... and will tell anyone here that can still find these to stack up while they are cheap/can find them.

i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.

On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.

Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..

these tires ride like ****. obviously. and your roads are no worse than anyone elses.
