Tires Anyone?

Hi All! It's been a while since I've posted. Anyone have thoughts on replacements for the 245 45/18 RSA's? I got the factory rubber up to 43,000 and figure I'd put some new shoes on the Max before I have to wrap these in duct tape to get to work.

uh oh... thread will probably be moved....

i just replaced the Conti 225/55-17's with Bridgestone Turanza LS-V. They got about the best rating on Tire Rack. I've had them for about 1000 miles, and they seem good. Not as noisy as the Conti's.

I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, could not be happier.

Toyo Proxes T1-R, they are much lighter and will add some HP
