Handeling
My car is in need of some new tires, but i don't have 600 dollars to spend right now so i'm kind of running on my old ones. In a mean while what other things are out there that can improve my handeling of the car. How bout that strut bar for 30 bucks does it work or is it waste of money. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

These. I would recommend them for close to half the price of comparable major brands. Those suckers just do not hydroplane.... Oh how i've tried..

I like the continental extreem contacts. I've had them for about 6 months and like them alot. See ratings and descriptions here. As a matter of fact Tire Rack is probably the best place to compare tires.

if your tires are worn, get new tires FIRST. The RSB and FTSB will do you no good if you go flying off a wet road because of worn tires.
so, get tires first.
then, get a RSB (which is much more of an improvement than the FSTB)...you don't feel the FSTB all that much. You definitely will notice the RSB.

I wonder how many people here will actually get that joke? (btw, I get it)

Those mods won't do anything to help your stopping distance.

try out avon tech tires at the tire rack. They've gotten all good reviews by everyone that ever got them and they are $130 a piece for 225/45/18's. Nice thing is that they are all season high performance, so if it snows or rains alot in your area then your covered
