Default 92 Lexus sc400 value tires

Can anyone tell me what the best value tires are to buy for my 92 lexus sc400? I need to buy some asap. I dont want to get cheap ones that look bad nor do I want to spend way to much money for top of the line ones Can I get some decent ones for around $100 a peice? Also walmart has some goodyear ones for 94.50 should I consider these? Basically what am I looking for in a good tire and what makes a tire look good or not? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The slightly wider 245/50R16 size will fit your stock rims and fill out the wheel well a bit better than the standard 225/55R16 size. Diameter is essentially the same.

The Falken ZE-512 is a bargain at about $75 per, but there are others, too. What cherplex said.

The wheels on my car are oem I belive.. they are smoke silver colored and say abs in center caps if that helps. Im not looking to race or anything but I do want them too look good and handle corners well. Thanks for everyones help.

Default Not so

Try reading his original question and you'll see he wants a good-looking tire, and one that fills the wheel well more fully rather than looking crab-tracked means 245/50R16 is the better-looking size, not 225/55R16.
