i picked up my "new" kosei K1 white racing rims today. 15"x7", and i need some tires for it. i dont want to spend $400 on 15" tires. thats rediculious. i priced 2 falken azenius tires for like $93 or so. and for the rear some kumho 712's for i think around $80 for the rears. at "discount" tire...
 (712's in the back because they are cheaper and last alot longer! i have them now, i think they a hell of a deal.)ANYHOW!!! there a good cheap place to order tires online?? THAAANKS. -Dane

 awesome prices and free shipping, on a few occasions I found slightly better deals, but as a whole, they definitly get my vote. Also, go with a 205/50/15 |

Personally I would suggest getting the same tires all around, and rotating often. Also I don't know if your car is a daily driver or not, but the Falken Azenis tires have a 200 treadwear i believe. From what I researched, they won't last too long.
Wow, $10 mounting and balancing for one wheel? thats really cheap..Walmart wanted $11.50. I got mine mounted/balanced at Discount Tire cause I didn't trust Walmart. Make sure you ask to watch them mount your tires so they don't scratch your rims Discount Tire Direct is a good place to get tires..although there are still some small extra fees. (I think valve stems and such) edit- wooo this is my 500th post. I am officially a VX driver
