Default New tires: what should i get?

I am getting a tire and wheel package with some 18" enkeis and here are the tire types I have to choose from Federal, Nankang or Hankook.

Voice your opinion and tell me which one is the best. Thanks

Out of those brands, Hankook is the most reputable brand.

I decided that those brands are too unknown, and are probably of lesser quality than others. So, I have decdied to get YOKOHAMA AVS ES100's. I'm gonna have to order those separate from my rims, so that means i'm gonna have to pay for mounting and balancing. Does anyone have an idea of how much that will cost me?

I have no idea about Yokos but I wanted to add that after having Michelin Harmony tires on the Cutlass, I put a set of Michelin MXV4s on the ES (They came with the option for MXV4s from the factory) and they are some REALLY good all-seasons. that's just my opinion though...

Default Yoko

The Yokohama is a good choice. You can order the tires here

Yoko AVS ES100

and select from the list of recommended installers as well. In most areas its about $15-20 for mounting and balancing.
