I have a few questions about the stock 17" tires that come on the 2000 models. I have heard a lot of bashing on the Potenzas and I am just beginning to think about my next set of tires. I want some good tires that will last, does anyone have any suggestions on brands. I would really like to keep the cost to a minimum but I know you get what you pay for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 20k miles on my car and the tread seems to be getting fairly low. This is only my second car and I only bought one set of tires for my old car so I really have no idea how long tires are suppose to last. Thanx

put a dime to the track of the tire and face the head down, if u can see the eyes of the head...then those tires are not good. I use Michelin MXv4 and it is pretty good...better than the stock expensive toyo. Pirellis are also good tires.

pirellis are about 130 and michelin costs 145

I have heard nothing but good things from Kuhmo's 713, or 712 I forget which model. But they are about 100 a piece.

I heard the Nitto 555's are good, as well.

Hi I am new here and was also wondering about the Toyo's. Mine have like 85-90% tread left on them. I was wondering if I could get some money for them from a Toyo dealer.
