Default New Tire Suggestions??

im planning on gettin a set of new tires by end of june/early july. just some 16's for my accord. i dont wanna spend more than $100 a tire, but it would be awesome if i could spend less. is that reasonable?

im not trying to go all out performance, and it'll need good wet traction. oh, and it'll have to be all-season, too, but it doesnt snow much so yeah. i checked on tire rack.com but i wanted to see what you guys had to say.


any suggestions?

the avid is cheap and a good all around tire. treadwear is pretty good as well also not alot of noise when they wear down.

if you dont mind the funk tire tread design, the BFG T/A KDW2's are pretty good tires.

the RE930i's are just great all-season performance tires.

Goodyear Assurance Tripletred...better than my old Blizzaks in the snow (although they kinda suck on ice), amazing in the rain and very good in the dry. Not up there with the max performance tires I've had, but breakaway is progressive and sidewall stiffness is pretty good for a comfy tire. Best all seasonal out there IMO, check out how high the ratings are on tirerack.
