I read a post a while ago on the old board on what tires to get. I am still using stock rims, and just got my car. The rears are about brand new, Good Year Eagle RSA. And the fronts are due to be changed as soon as I get some time. I wanted to know in your opinion what is better. Should I stick with another pair of Good Years, to match them up? Or should I get two Dunlop SP9000. I don't care too much about money, but I am a student, and do not have infinate amounts of it! Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey, im a student too!
If i were you, I would go with the Dunlop SP 9000's. I personally haven't used them (I AM buying them when I buy my new wheels soon) but I have heard only good things about them. They have excellent treadwear, ride quality, traction, and very quiet. I've only heard bad things about the Eagle RSAs (noisy, horrible wet traction , LOUD)

Don't worry about matching them up. I have a couple GT4+ up front and Yokohama (z rated, forgot which designation) in back.

Question Tires

What about BF Goodrich T/A ZR or G-Force?
I am thinking about 245-50-16 with stock rims?

I would go with Dunlop SP9000 too. My current set has about 38K and is due for replacement, but I think they last pretty long considering that they are Z-rated tires. I will get another set of SP9000.
