Its almost time for new tires. I have 18x7.5" wheels and currently have 235/40/18 Pirelli P7000 SS and they are great for normal driving (I don't race or go to the track). But I think I am dropping to 225/40/18 for better price, selection and fit. I have chosen a few tires from www.tirerack.com and listed them below. I am leaning towards the Michelin Pilot Sports. Which ones would you get and why?

Thanks.

• Bridgestone Potenza S-03 / $171
• Dunlop SP Sport 9090 / $204
• Dunlop SP Sport 9000 / $168 (special price)
• Michelin Pilot Sport / $188 (special price)
• Bridgestone Potenza S-02 / $175
• Bridgestone Potenza RE730 Gen2 / $188
• Pirelli P7000SS / $145
• Bridgestone Potenza S-02A / $172

 

s0-3 or pilot sport

 

None of those....

I HIGHLY recommend the Toyo Proxes T1-S. They are a supurb tire. I just got mine last week and all I can say is WOW. They are a 100% better tire than the Pirelli P7000 that I had (which you are looking into getting). Ask Micah95GLE and Bags, they also LOVE them with a passion. I will post a pic of the tread and all that good stuff when I get back to the house.

 

yes t1-s are a badd azz tire witha sweet tread design

 

Kumhos!!

 

As erik said..

NONE

proxy T1-s


have been the best tire EVER

BUT.. the s-03's are not tobad.. it is what some of the audi guys have

 

Where did y'all get them? Local or on-line? Price?

 

I got mine local.. kauffman tire.. $210 per tire 235/40 18 with road hazard and lifetime balance and rotation

www.treaddepot.com down near the airport has them at like $190 a tire.. but you have to take JUST the rims there... they don't have a place to jack your car up, so if you take the rims they can mount the tires

 

you should get tires that do not have holes in them...

 

 

im a tried and true fan of pirellis. but not the 225s. the 235s are excellent for my kind of driving. erik drives like me and he suggest the proxes so check them out.

i also like yoks avs sports.

pirellis, avs and toyo t1-s.

 

I am thinking Yokahama Parada's does anyone know anything about them?

 

I got mine locally. they came in at $148.00 per tire and $40.00 for mounting and balance (about $670.00 out the door). Although the tire supplier first shipped my the Toyo Proxes FZ4, I had to wait two more days for my T1-Ss. If you need my guy's number, I can hook you up.

 

i like my sumitomo HTR+..and i know alotta people that are well satisfied with sumitomo rubber, and theyre quite cheaper than most of those tires u listed...i mean yea T1-S does kick major ****, and if money isn't that big of a deal, then either go with the S0-3, pilot sports, or T1-S...but im just saying i like my sumitomo

 

ive heard many times that the pradas get loud..that you hafta turn your radio up..all the road noise..*shrug* ive heard the same response from a VW passat owner..along with a IS300...

 

I agree. I've had the sumitomo's for a couple of months now and love the feel.
