I'm looking to get some summer/All seasons for a 2nd gen sedan. Looking at tires online and i discovered the Momo Toprun m30 which look to be pretty good for the price, but really no info about them online.

Seems like a really good deal for $87/tire. Size is stock 16" 205/55/R16

There is also the Kumho Solus KH18 on for $75.

The car itself is mostly driven on the highway and I do like to drive the car aggressively occasionally. Which tire would should i buy?

Buy something better. If you like to drive hard then you want a better quality tire.

These are some of the prices from 2015 Simply Tire prices. $87/tire puts you at $350. Ad another $80 to have them mounted and balanced, and you could have just bought from a reputable shop, and saved the hassle.

My rule is for anything between myself and the ground (a bed, a chair, and yes, tires), to spend the money to get something good. Tires are arguably the most important part of a car, so go with a good manufacturer from a reputable dealer

Thanks, are those prices installed or just for the tires? In addition to this the car will spend about 90% of its time on the highway with occasional spirited driving the city ie take a corner a little faster than usual here or there. So i dont need anything too crazy.

What would be the consensus from the list that midnight posted?

Thanks

one could also argue that the highway is where you need the best tires. if you need to stop or swerve from 100+ kph you do not want hard, off brand cheap tires. I recommend the below with experience.

Goodyear Assurance AS 91H -- $490.00
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport -- $530.00
Toyo Extensa AS 89T -- $540.00

if you can't afford good tires, wait until you can. If you're hell bent between the Momo and Kumho, I would go with the softer one which is the Kumho
