Can anybody suggest inexpensive tires in the oem size for the sport coupes 19" wheels? I would like to find them for around $100 a piece if possible. I live in south florida so I don't need snow tires but I guess I can still go with all season. I want something that has good wet and dry traction and low road noise.

Good wet & dry 19s w/ low noise aren't going to be had for $100, might look at Federal 595s or Nexens in the $140 range, but I'd still invest a bit more and get something better.

Why cheap out on the 1 thing connecting you and the road?
Go with a better summer set from Michelin or Continental

19" tires aren't usually cheap, particularly in the OEM size. If you want cheap tires get some 18" wheels that are a little narrower and tires with a taller profile. They'll be a lot cheaper than the OEM sized tires.

But as was stated, cheap tires are always a bad idea. Tire choice is a huge part of wet and dry traction, braking, cornering, ride comfort, road noise, and most of all - safety.

Dont cheappo your tires....
Ebay= at least look for used quality tires, some comes with warranty.

You certainly don't need to buy brand new sets each time...that shtt adds up quick. The warranty is obviously nice but if you know what you're looking for you can get some deals.
Case in point, my current set of tires were used when I got them. I got them in pairs...just happened to find good deals.
150 for a pair of 255/35/19 super sports off a guy on my350z - 80%
100 for a pair of 285 and model - 80%
So 250 for a used set of super sports...which is less than one of the fronts brand new
Do your research and you'll find a good deal.

Just be sure to check the date codes, tires might look good from the outside but it can be deceiving if they're old.

Ooo valid point, forgot to add that.
Code from last year and were fresh take offs...so I wasn't too worried in my case but something to check for nonetheless

I'm cheap. Can't see spending $800 for tires.

Thanks guys. I'll start searching.

Why buy a $40k car and put lame tires on it?? It only takes a few months to suck down $800 just in gas. In any case, the past couple sets I've bought from Discount Tire Direct when they have a $100 off $400 coupon on eBay, usually around holidays. Set of Hankook Ventus evo 2 and set of Bridgestone RE760 with $200 off each set and another $80 or something in rebate. The rest of the time onlinetires.com seems to have the best prices even considering in-state tax (for me). I was going to try the Accelera Phi because its the only sub-$100 tire I could find any semblance of reviews on google but chickened out and went with the known brand tires. If you try it report back.

For the price and road performance, Conti's are a good choice.

I have the Nexen N5000 Plus tires, 245/40/19 all around on my 19" sport wheels. Exceptional performance considering the price point. I've driven it in dry, rain, and snow with no problems.

Just seen the post date would like to add my 2 cents, 100$ good wet traction tire is hard to find! My friends here in California have ran Federals and nankangs it's alot of mixed reviews of em-.- I personally would go with hankook ventus V12s !
