I ended up finding a set of almost finished toyo r888's for next to nothing, even compared to that jbtires.

I'm pickin up 5 R888's tomorrow. Less than 3hrs run time on them

check money should be alowed for tires. That's maintenance. Not upgrades. Just like oil changes and air filters....

esp since it's your DD man

 
Although that's true, it should be allowed. If I DID do that, it would ruin everything the Sport is all about. Good looks, good performance, high functioning, and virtually free (although I can't count count the countless hours I've searched for parts and the labor I've given).

I've got Nexen 3000 tires. They have actually proven to be very good tires for the Sport, and basically affordable.....

 
They are good tires in the heat I notice... once it gets below 80 or so, it's like the tires are square until they heat up... not a very good tire for Buffalo I found

It's 80 or above around here 9 months out of the year. They have been great.
