^^review^^ they seem ok according to that and thats on an evo.

basically the opinion on them tho is that they are cheap chineese off brand, and lately china has had a bad rep for products, including a TIRE RECALL not long ago.

BOOM, i dun like "china crap" idk tho, look nice :)

I got some off the wall tires... BlueStreak Stilleto's.

Fricking NICE tire. Excellent traction in rain/water, snow especially dry pavement. Smooth quiet ride...

Cant remember price exactly, but it was on par with the absolute CHEAPEST tires I could find anywhere, but a MUCH better tire.

Yeah but nothing to great of pix.

You get what you pay for ;)

ew. If you want a cheap tire get a Falken. They are quite and trustworthy, at least.

But watch out, really cheap directional tires are even worse. what a nightmare, they can make the car drive like crap.
Tires do not only affect traction, they affect handling, accelleration, braking distance, and gas mileage. People tend to forget tires are the only things between your car and the road and they are important.


I hate noisy cheap tires.. Go big or go home! hehe =)


Edit: Oh yyeh, hey I just realized who you were! Hey, bud! =)

Interesting coincidence that about 10 minutes ago I just saw these tires for the first time, on a dodge neon sitting next to me. But I could have swore they were spelled 'sunni', not sunny.

Dude call around, a while back i found a place selling 245 45 17's mounted and balnced for 70 bucks, i think it was tires plus. and they wernt cheapo tires

[pawzbear]

ew.. well rule of thumb for a realistic tire is that you dont want that crazy V tread all over, you want straight circumferential valleys.. hmm hard to explain. But it make the tire track straight, be quite, and ride steady. Those tires looked like hell and with only a 200 something treadlife rating that is extremely poor.

hmm looking for cheap cheap tires... well... try:
Kumho Ecsta AST - 400AA
Sumitomo HTR+ (high performance all season!) - 360 AAA

OR!! Here is your best option!!
Go here.. and buy the Falken ZE-502's.. or, well, any falken. Cheap and decent tires.

^ I'm sure she's not going to rally race

[Redog]

Sumitomo HTR+ (high performance all season!) - 360 AAA


I had these tires, great for the first 15,000 miles, but start to shake and get noisy after that. did not last the 40,000 miles they claim to

[pawzbear]

yeh well there is not much wiggle room to get an awesome tire in that size for the price he wants. You gotta sacrifice on some things, at least its not some POS cheap imported ebay stuff.

[Redog]

People love eBay for these kind of things.

Personally, there are certain things that I just would not buy on eBay, tires are one of them ;)

[KenshinZero]

I’ve never herd of sunny tires, so I don’t really have an opinion of them, Personally I would go with Falken, or BF Goodrich. But that’s just me.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

cheap out on the rest of the car, not the tires. I know budgets are tight, but if you get a really good reliable tire, and don't do stupid shit, they will last longer.

[shiny alero]

just an update...we went with the Falken ZE-502's
