Default Are these tires any good?

They look alright and all the rating seem fine. I've never heard of the comapany and the price looks awesome. I'm trying to find tires for the new Cobra R's I just bought. Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/245-4...spagenameZWDVW


I was also looking at these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5528588&rd=1,1

The tires are going on a car with antique plates, so I won't be driving it htat often. I just want a great performing thire that looks good for shows as well. Thanks.

Brian

I used to have a car with Kelly Tires on it, they´re great, they´re made by Goodyear in Brazil!
also thinks that Falken tires are too soft for street use.......

They look good and they are sporty. Handles great. Just think at what is the overall cost? $369+$63 shipping+64 unmount,mount and balance. Total of $496. You can have brand new Falkens or Khumos about $30-$50 more at Americas tire or other tire dealers (maybe even cheaper if you go through sales ads). You get lifetime balancing and rotations and flat repairs free. Just remember that any tire will require balancing once or twice in its lifetime. I get it done at every tire rotation even without vibration. Just food for thought. But if I had the equipment then yes I'll purchase it through ebay.

Default Kelly tires

Look like good tires (420 is a relatively high wear rating) and price, and shipping isn't bad.

Have you tried www.tiresavings.com ? They sometimes have good prices.

dont get fooled by treadwear rating...You can only compare that rating within the same manufacturer, not with each other. 420 is high though.

So these are 255's. What would be the proper size for 17 x 9 cobra r's? Would the 255's be better than 250? Does that make a difference?

I just checked out that website and I've never heard of many of the manufacturers that have tires hovering around 100 ea.
