Personally, I only buy name brand tires. You get what you pay for. Don't skimp on tires.

Default i had theses on stock rims
i only had them on for about two weeks before i got my new rims. they were the cheapest tire from les schwab so i got them to hold me over until i got new rims/tires. they seem to do fine in the wet and dry, and i totally trust my les schwab to not give me junk tires.
