maxis are a cheapish brand. Trade off is in noise and maybe tyre wear. If all you do is commute in the euro then its a fair option. Even cheaper is Nexxcen tyres.
What about Toyo?
How much you want to spend per tyre?Quote:

i got Yokohama avs db2, but they are a bit scary in the rain. another set is continental sports contact 2, very happy with these. i had kumho ku21, i only had these for 1 week before selling them off, they were the worst tyres I had.
Nangkangs are cheap, low noise, but deadly in the wet :S understeer
I just got some Toyo Teo Plus in 225/45/17 on my Euro yesterday. Seem very quiet - but that's comparing them to some no name brand (Ironman) on the fronts from the previous owner.
I got quoted $160 per tyre for Diamond Backs.... but I read reviews that they are :thumbdwn: so looking around for some cheap tyres... i want something safe in wet and dry and not too noisy..Quote:

OEM tyres are not the best. Usually they are the cheapest ones available from the supplier but sold to end users at an inflated price. Call up and find out the price of the ER300.Quote:

a good demo of the RE001, but for 225 40 18 is about $350. 225 45 17 is $200-$250.
