I went to the Chrysler dealership and they said the sport ps2 tires that come on the crossfire would be $400 each for the rear tires. I need tires for $200 or less each.

Too bad about the distance, the ones I have still have plenty of miles left on them. I put new Sumitomo HTZ III's on at 20K which was in August this year.

Good luck,
Bob

I would look at the General UHP Exclaim tires. I have them on the rears. Should run you about ~$210 per tire on the rears and around ~$100 per tire on the front.

I just ordered 2 Continental ExtremeContact DWS rear tires from The Tire Rack and they were $197 a piece plus shipping and tax. The fronts are $130 a piece. They are All Season tires with a 50,000 mile warranty and have excellent reviews.

I bought the Nankang NS-II's 18/19 combo. My rears were $275 and fronts were $130. After extensive research and driving experience, I've come to the conclusion that these tires are great! I got them from ebay.

wouldn't it make sense in your current financial situation to buy used on eBay. cheap, good deals. just carry a plug kit with you.

You can get a full set of UHPs delivered to your house for a total of $615 from Tire Rack...then pay someone $50-$100 to install them.

I would suggest if you do anything is that you have the tires and wheel load balanced, it makes a tremendous diffrerence in the response of the vehicle.

I did have that done. After that and the new tires I can tell a HUGE difference in how the car drives. It feels a lot more responsive and their is less road noise.

My 05 Xfire responds so well with the Sumitomo tires and the Magnus wheels being road load balanced and a total alignment they are like glued to the road on curves, I have much more confidents in the car now that the Conti-tires are off. Response has improved significantly.
