Which CHeap Tire is Better?

I am trying to find a decent all season tire for cheap. These are going to be used in winter weather, so this is a factor as well.

The size is 225 - 40 - 18.

The choices are:

Sumo Akina st09
Zeetex Hp102
Nankang NS2 Sport
Hurcules Raptis WR1


What set should i pick?

thank you guys

If you will be driving in snow, snow tires will be better than an all season tire. I don't think a 225 will fit on the stock rims either but I could be wrong.

Generals? you can get them in ontario canada? Well I assume there is going to be a bit of snow, but im around toronto, so snow is sort of dependant of how bad the year is. But either way im only getting all seasons, im not going to have 2 sets of tires.

stock tires are 215 / 45 /18

I thought any thing from 215 - 225 / 40-45 /18 should fit on the stock 18 inch rims?????
any one?

ended up getting 225 - 40 - 18, low profile all season unicorn.

$660 taxes in, including balancing/installation and a 4 tire allignment.

ever hear of this brand?. Its designed and run in the states but made i china.

From going from a 215-45-18 to 225- 40 - 18, will that effect gas economy and kms? if YES, what will the effects be?

thanks guys

It would impact your fuel economy at least a little since you'd be driving on a wider tire patch than stock. The tire compound will also play a role in how far you can go on a tank...couldn't say one way or the other about that since I've never heard of the brand. Let us know how they work for you.

i'm not sure why you decided to get crap tires when you could've gotten great tires.
hankook ventus evo v12: 4 225/40/18 456.60+60 S+H, mounting and balacing 10-15 per tire so lets say $15 =60

576.60 + lets say $100 for 4wd alignment (most are about 75)

676.60 - $60 mail in rebate 616.60 worst case scenario.
