    umm...this is kind of a silly question.

    if you have the money, get good tyres. if you dont, then dont.

    get t1r's. best value street tyres ive used.

    yoko es100 gets my thumbsup over t1r's

    a fair bit more expensive though.

    If they're livable then okay but if they're dangerous like you can't brake properly, aquaplaning on a slightly wet road then don't wait and get better tires, its the only thing connecting your car to the road, not something to skimp (sp?) on.
