Ok im sorry guys i dont know much about tires, but i like the ones that look more squared off at the edges, not like the normal rounded edge. I want some that are a nice tire, and nice price not to much. So whats up guys let me know some tires.

A lot of that comes from how the tires fit on the rims. A wider tire compared to rim width will tend to square off more than a narrow one, which will tend to round off.

you want to look for a tire with a speed rating of "H" or higher. they have the wider footprint that you are looking for. the higher speed rated tiresare made that way to help in cornering & handling.

I think the OP is talking about tires with a squared-off shoulder to the tread. I'm not really familiar with car tires, but it would be like the difference between a rounded golfcart tire and a squarer go-cart tire. 'Similar tire and rim size, but very different shapes. If you're familiar with LT tires, it'd be the difference in shoulder shape between an old-style Goodyear Wrangler MT and a BFG MT. They could be the same size and for similar purpose, but have very different shapes. Even schoolbuses have extremely squared-off treads, but the sidewall may bulge quite a bit.

To the OP...You could just google treads that you're interested in, to see how squared the shoulders look in pics.

I'm not sure about other tires, but Cooper Zeon ZPT's have squared off edges.
