Default which tires should i get?

I need some tires, My car is at the shop and it doesnt have tires. its a long story.
I just wanted to check with whoever may advice me. I am undecided and i dont want to spend 800-900 dollars on tires i may regret.

My priorities are: I want some tires that are about the same weight or lighter that the stock turanzas (26 lbs.) Ive been on tirerack for a while and only could find a selected few. I also dont want anything too loud or to hard, and when it comes to grip I justwant something better than stock. I do not drive in the snow.

Please give me some suggestions, and if you can compare tires to stock turanzas er33, it would help me the most
any experiences with any of these tires would be great!!!
I really need to order these ASAP.

does tire rack have any kind of coupon code for CL?

thanks CL

Had the CSC3s on my last car for a little while. They seemed nice quiet, comfortable and good traction.

First I would say figure out your budget, then decide on a tire.

im basing my budget on value. i know there are great tires out there, buit they cost 1200 bucks, im not sure i need that good of tires.
I guess something in the 800-1000, heck any tire costs 200 bucks for the IS 18's

I paid $920 OTD for Bridgestone RE760 Sport. Much better than the stock.

Go for the Toyo Proxes4, they're quite, they last long and they're good in the rain. It's not a PURE summer tire so this is why..

After 15000 miles, I like my Eagle F1's.
But still there are better choices, and I will go another route in about a year

No coupon code for CL. For performance the Goodyear Assym will have the best grip in the corners and is the most responsive.
