Im selling a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE760's Sports 245/40/18 Which will fit your GSR or MR stock rim. They have less the 200 miles (171 miles to be exact) on them. Im located in Northern California and would be willing to meet you half way wherever in California you might be located.

LMK!

I know Im going to get flamed for this, but you said "cheap". Nexen tires have been getting good reviews, plus they retail for $100 a pop..

Nexen N3000: High performance Summer tire
Nexen N7000: High performance All Season tire

i have tested both the dw and dws on the evox. spend a little more and get the dw version. its got a better handling response, better in wet, and is closer to the evo x standard of street and track capable if u ever wanted to go. the dws on the other hand has a funny feel when weight transfers left to right super quick. i grilled techs and engineers on this and they report back its not so much the sidewall causing it but its those independent diamond blocks that shift during lateral exchanges. that why people report it grips damn good but there is a mushy feeling before it does. i didnt understand that until i thrashed the tires on a track to get the feedback. to a hardcore track guy its not the tire he would want. the dw is much better at the extremes.

dw(pretty grippy in dry and wet) vs. dws (good dry, excellent wet, fighting chance in snow, and perfect comfort feel.)

but for an evo, u may want the dw.

the cool part is. if u drive the dws and u dont like it you can exchange it no questions asked for the dw. just pay the price diff. and install. u have 60 and the first 2/32nds

its sweet.

Agreed, excellent tires regardless of cost:

FWIW, rubbers = condoms and rubber = tires.

Where are you finding them for $130/tire? Discount Tire has them for $177/tire and that's the cheapest I've found them.
