    uh im not sure but i think it said Lexian. ok what makes a tire good so I can know for future reference, like what grade, traction, tread wear would be my best choice/worst choice?

    Much of it depends on how you are using the car.

    Are these tires you plan to drive year round?

    Do you want good tread life?

    Do you want good dry and wet performance?

    What are your qualifications for the tire before you get concerned with the traction, temperature, and performance ratings?

    ok lets just say its going to be for daily driving all season, I want some good grip, and its rains weekly here so wet and dry.

    Well here is what I'd recommend then.

    go here: www.TireRack.com

    You can put in your vehicle model and trim, or just search by size. Based on your avatar (assuming thats your Lancer) the following is your tire size: 215/45R18.

    But remember when looking at Tire Rack's site just input your vehicle model and trim and desired size and it will give you plently of selection.

    In that size expect tires to start around $100 plus installation and possible shipping if purchased online.
