I am in need for tires as well. My friend is selling me his winter tires that he had from the dealership for a hundred bucks. But come summer time I will be in the same situation as you, trying to find a nice tire.

I would like to find another set of stock rims so I can just switch them with no problem.

My yoko's suck, when I run over some puddles it feels like my car is gliding, I don't have to deal with snow, so what would be a good all season tires that would run good on dry and not have me gliding over puddles when it rains?

The Bridgestone Turanza's that come on the new tC's are pretty good. I haven't had any problem with them in the snow or rain.

The bigger question is why you would want to buy them??? They are less than mediocre at best and hugely overpriced. You can buy twice the tire for half the price!

O no. I wasn't going to buy them I just wanted to see how much the stock are going for online. I know how much they suck and I remember seeing Dr. Isotope recommending the Falken FK452. can anyone tell me the excat specs on those like as in rim size, width etc etc. (not very knowledgeable on tires).
