Falken azenis http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_rt615_t.htm I use the 215s for autox/street but theyre sold out and the 615 are suppost to be even better. Theyre sticky enough for the street but for alot of autox get stickier(on the track you always end up wanting stickier lol)

280 tw were way to slippery for the street IMO but the 200 is good. Theyre sticky when a little warm but to hot they loose their stickiness so for lots of runs in a row spray with water to cool them down. You wont get that hot on the road dont worry.

205/50R15 89W $78 a tire Same size Im using o yea Ive pulled .98 Gs on these tires

I just got the195/55/r15 yokohama. AVS ES 100's They grip damn good. but then again i had worn all the way to the cord on all 4 of my last tires. They are really loud though. And they suck in the snow. just a few days ago we had a snow storm and i was scared to death driving. other then that i really like them

Try Hankook Ventus HR II's

pretty cheap, good grip. don't use them in the snow though.

my stock tire size is 195/55/15. but then again, Canadian turbulence gets a different rims than US spec. so you better double check.

I've never liked my HRIIs. I always had problems with them in the rain.

The snow is even worse. I have 2 sets of rims, 17s (chrome with the HRIIs) and 18s (gunmetal with the BFG G-Force KDWs, I LOVE these things, and they look cool).

I had the 17s on just to store the car for the winter and not damage the BFGs($$$). I pulled the car out into the slightest amount of snow, maybe less than 1cm, and I couldn't get it back up the driveway. The wouldn't even grip in the slighest way.

If funds are low.
Buy them secondhand.

Keep brand new tyres on the front.
And secondhand on the rear.
