First let me start off by saying I know somebody's gonna say I posted this in the wrong section, to you guys i say maybe , I kinda posted here beccause its a little more visible here meaning more ppl will see it here and maybe i will get a faster response . i do apologize in advance if anyone is slightly irritated .

Im sure by now most of you have heard about the tire sale on ebay for Discount tires direct if not heres a link

Ok with that being said ,
I was going to buy a set of GENERAL ALTIMX RT43 55R R17 TIRES but then noticed the speed index was T - 118 mph then i realized the car was equiped with V Rated tires and I read i should only replace tires with V or higher rated tires . Ive seen ppl replace some tires with lower index ratings i was wondering how technical I would have to be in replacing my set of tires

Here are the ones I think i would go with I am trying to get the best value for the money performance is important but tread life is just as important as these tires need to last me for a while

Let me say i am a very aggressive driver , i forsee that i will be calming down alot as my wife and i are expecting our first child in july

Ok
here are my choices


COOPER CS4 TOURING $568-100=468

Using lower speed rated tires can lead to a decrease in steering responsiveness, and the installer may refuse to mount this tire for your application for liability or state inspection reasons.

 

I just got the Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 a few weeks ago and I really like them. They're Z rated, all season, quiet and seem to grip well. Only $107 ea at tire rack. I had a local place get them for the same price.

 

+1 they are very good in snow too! In NJ we got alot of snow this yr 10in of snow didnt stop my 05X! The hankooks are a great all season tire! You will love the s1 noble 2s! I love mine!

 

I ended up getting the cooper CS4s, I previously had Hankook Ventus V12
The coopers are really quiet and they feel really good at high speed and cornering , Very stable , Loving them and id highly recommend them to anybody
