Default Tires

I have my new 17" wheels on the way, and I need some cheap, although reliable tires. I will get some nice ones later on, but I need some that will get me to work and back, and will withstand speed of 100mph (highway, don't ask). Thanks.

Ebay - I almost bought these...

But then I decided to go with 16's. I talked to these guys on the phone, seemed like a good deal.

Well, if you're not sure about those, i can recommend these.

Hankook Ventus HRII H405 @ victoriatire.com
I find these a very good tire for the money. They last a lot longer than Kumho 712's and in my opinion are much stickier in the dry. Wet performance is on par with 712's also.

*brand name tire
*340 tread wear rating (U.L.Q.G.)
*traction A
*temperautre A

205/40/R17 $79 @ victoria tire

Almost any tire will handle 100mph. I think that is the max for Q rated.

As opposed to what? The ratings only go as high as AA...
