He's as bad as Can
Allowed for what?
Well to keep this simple people buy shoes for work, dress or sports.
Do you want tires for winter, track (road course or drag), long tread life or best all around street performance?

Similarities between cars and shoes....both connect to the ground, once the tread is gone you slip in the rain, they should often be shined, both can be fashion statements, and most importantly....they smell if you don't take care of 'em :D

what does the price range from.
i think i could be able to set bout $1k plus a set. dont want to be too cheapskate cause makes all the difference when you're taking someone to the line.

U can explore the following:
1) Michellin Perceda
2) Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
3) Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
4) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Try this site for reviews and ratings of these tyres (ie. look under "Max Performance Summer" tyres):

I checked all the links that you guys put up and i must say that they are really helpful. thanks guys. dont really understand the terms or numbers stated but can guess.
ex:245/40-18
245- size of tyre
40- width of tyre
18- defintely the rim size
at this present moment really feelin the PS2 after all the reviews. anyone in SG can recommend a reliable place that also offers an attractive price?

Not quite.
I believe that 245 is the width of the tire expressed in mm.
40 is the sidewall height expressed as a percentage of width; i.e. 245/40 means that the sidewall is 40% x 245 or 98mm.
And yes 18 is the rim size.
