check for a set of marchall matrac
they have a good grip and they are
inexpensive. i ran this in 205/45/16
on my last car and i love it.
i don't know if they make in
your size but try to find a set. (burnout)

I just bought a set of Kumho Ecsta 711, and they seem to be pretty good, so far (even if it's still freezing). They are inexpensive too!

I know $205 each tire is the norm...but I am trying to see if I could save some extra bucks since I just bought a house 6 months and there are A LOT of renovations to do. 
Anyone ever hear of tires called Marshal Matrac?? I know a guy that can sell me those tires (205/45ZR17) for $550. Supposedly, he has installed them on many cars...including WRX...Integras...etc...

There is a guy who wrote about those tires in this thread. Msp-titanium is his name, unless you've talked to him, I don't know anyone... sorryCameleon3 said:I know $205 each tire is the norm...but I am trying to see if I could save some extra bucks since I just bought a house 6 months and there are A LOT of renovations to do.

Are you looking for a summer only tire or would an all season be ok?
In all season the Toyo Proxes 4 looks interesting or the Falken ZE-512.
For summer only, the Kumho 712 looks like a good bet and won't cost too much.
As for a good place to buy tires, if you are willing to buy online check out http://www.1010tires.com or http://www.tiretrends.com/

i ran a set of kumho too and i liked it but
i prefered the tread of the marchall for the grip
it feel the same thing
i ran the kumho in 205/50/15
and the marchall in 205/45/16
both have really good grip in water (wrc)

I had A520's on my old 1990 Civic Si and they were INCREDIBLE (185/60-14)! But on my 2000 Civic EX (185/65-14) they were so noisy I took them off the car after a month. They generated a high pitch noise that just got on my nerves. I hope this won't be the case with your size.

Yes I'm still talking about tires...LOL! My experience was that the two TIRE sizes I used made a different noise, one was ok the other VERY annoying, and both were A520's.
And yes they stick like fly paper on the road, but boy do they wear fast...
