HELP! I need new tires!
 
I have been doing a lot of research and reading on the forums and haven't really gotten anywhere.

I know I'll sound dumb when I say this and people might comment on here anyway but screw it.

I'm not the type of person that wants my passengers (girls I take on dates) to have the harsh and noisy ride that the FR-S comes with. However, I still want to "show off" a little bit and get the car sideways, tires squealing and all.

So what I need are some good tires that aren't louder or stiffer than the stock tires, but have just a little bit more grip than the stock tires.

Please give me your thoughts and ideas. I'm down for criticism.:thumbsup:

MPSS FTW!

The prius tires are LRR. Low rolling resistance. They are a quiet tire when driven conservatively. They also slide nicely. I like grip. I have 245/35/18 MPSS.

I also have MPSS they're arent loud, they grip much, much better than stock. I was able to slide mine pretty easy, on accident, with no traction control and just shifting from first to 2nd.

I cringed a bit when I slid though because MPSS aren't cheap tires.


If anything go down to your local America's tires and ask whats the cheapest they got

America's tire gets my vote too. I have bought 50 sets of tires from them. Good service in my area.


I paid $207 each.

Nitto Invos are prefect for you. I ran them for half of last year and they are better then stock in every way. They excel in being the quietest tires I have ever heard, they ride super nice, are amazing in the rain and the dry traction is not too bad, only a little more then stock so you can still throw it around a bit.

Oh I know.. Chicks dig the sports car they've never heard of.

That and older people who have no idea about the car

I can also suggest, for tires on a budget:

Dunlop RE760
BFG Sport Comp 2
Sumitomo htr z III

The Sumitomos are louder.

I have owned all three.
