I got a set of Falken Ziex 512's sized 205/50/15's for 67/tire. But I'm sure that ferio's price of 108/tire includes mount and balance... even if they are 16's...

from what im hearing the best bang for your buck is the falken azenis but i think they usually only last about 8 months or so. How aggressive is your driving, do you plan to drag or auto cross or just daily driven. what rating do u like H or V or Z

my friend recently order sumotimo tires 205-50-15 for 43 bukks a tire from tirerack.com, and i gotta say, these grip really well in the rain and has excellent traction on the dry. i recommend these also.

it's going to be for mainly daily driving and winter wheels. No drags, or racing

If you need them for winter driving as well, skip on the Khumo 712's and Falken Azenis. Search at Tirerack for an all-season tire. If your budget can fit them, Dunlop SP5000's are an excellent all-season tire as well as the SP Sport A2's (both in size 205/50/15). But they are very expensive at $90+ a tire.

Personally, I'd get a summer only set of tires for less money like the Azenis or Khumo's and find a set of steelies for $100 or so to ride on during the winter....:thumbup:
