Where to buy 205/50/15 tires cheap?
I am about to pick up a set of 15" steel grey rota c8s. The place i'm buying the rims from doesn't have a tire package deal so i'm wondering where i can find the cheapest 205/50/15 kumho ecsta 712's or a similar tire to that. Does anyone know if the falken ziex are comparable, they seem to be quite a bit cheaper?

Tirerack.com has some of the best prices out there. They sell the 205/50 15" Kumho 712 for $60. See if your local tire shop will match their price or find someone who does if you'd rather shop locally. I don't think the Falken Ziex are comparable but I don't have any firsthand experience. Everything I hear points to them being like the Nitto NT450s though.

Spend a little more and get the Falken Azenis..but if you plan on driving in the snow then scratch that idea. I'm going to get the Azenis to throw on my 15/16's when I get them and roll factories during the bad weather.

Azenis wear out quick from what i have read. I like kumhos, cheap and still stick pretty good.

any high performance tire will suck in the snow. best bet, get some snow tires for a set of steelies, then get your choice of hp tire for the good weather. (most of them are great in the rain/dry just not snow)

People who are wearing through these tires quick have ludacris alignment settings.

I thought I was the only Azenis believer for a min...

I have to say this like 5-10 times a day on every board. It's getting very annoying because someone heard from someone else who heard from his dog who has a cat that is friends with someone else (but doesn't tell anyone he has 5 degrees negative camber and 1" toe out front and rear).
Yeah any tire will wear out quicker with those settings.
