Ok, so the tire place my buddy works at doesn't have the size I need, which I decided to go with 205-50-15, so I'm thinking about ordering these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nitto-NT-Neo-Ge ... ccessories &fits=Section+Width%3A205|Aspect+Ratio%3A50|Rim+Di ameter%3A15&hash=item5ae62192b5&vxp=mtr
Haven't heard much about Nitto, but I read some reviews on these tires and they all seem to be good. Anyone here have any experience with them?
Also, I finally went to the local pick-a-part, and got some sweet stuff for the car. 2 mint headlight housings that I'm going to joey mod, lower glove box for the dual glove box mod, a new vent to replace a broken one, and a new faceplate for the HVAC controls to mess around with. Pretty good day, except for the part when I got stuck at the junk yard lol.

Were they loud at all? I've read a few places that they can be after about 10K miles, but since these won't be used year round, I should be good. Right now it's a toss up between these and a set of Yokohama S drives for about $50 more. Decisions, decisions.

If you drive hard you will find that most tire wear more quickly than you would like.
