Which tires to get?
Hit a freakin' pothole on the Highway couple of weeks ago, now looking for tires and I heard that Discount Tires Co. is a good place so I'm looking at these 2 types of tires right now..

and
http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/find...81&rd=15&ar=60
which one do you recommend? I was looking at some of these Falken's because they were a hell of a deal.

i say go with bf goodrich traction t/a's. i had the yoko's, they wore out very fast, the falkens i don't know about. I did my research when i was buying tires because i was sick of buying cool looking ones and them wearing out fast. Just my $.02.
check it out, better than the yoko's...

don't get the falkens... i had a set on my 5th gen and they sucked... they were good for like 10k but after that they suck..... and I drive 40 miles each way to work everyday.. and I don't drive like an indy car driver either.... so its not like i did some crazy cornering with them.... i think the best thing about those tires was they put off an awful lot of smoke right before I got my new ones... haha
