Default New tires. Best bang for the buck??
Time to buy some new tires, my potenza SO-3's are getting bare
what do you boys recommend?
im looking towards some cheaper tires, so im not expecting amazing grip.
probably 225/45-17, or mabye even 235/45-17

Default if you like the S03s (miss mine), get the RE050 PPs. search TireRack
read the reviews. currently, the PZero Neros are on cleranace. ~$120

search the wheel/tire forum.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com">http://www.tirerack.com</a</li></ul>

I think you should try the new Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's and report back. =)

Default Sumitomo HTR Z. I have them in 235/45/17. They're very sticky and very cheap.
~ $65 each from the TireRack. Go ahead and expect good grip, too.
