- what kind do you use?

Does not have to be Run-flats as..

I'm looking for a set for my aftermarktet 16 or 17" (not deided yet) wheels. I've spoken to one retailer up here - he had some Pirelli P6000 - but they cost over $240 - each!

Anyone got any advices to offer?

Someone suggested a set of Falken tires to me... got any experience on this?

Depends what you are looking for:

Cheap & long lasting:

or

Better grip:

Pirelli PZero are my next tyre of choice - good in wet and dry (can wear out quick though).

Also Bridgstone S02 are also an excellent tyre or....
