Personally I think these are good tires thru all weathers, and will last u a good amount of miles. My only complaint is they are loud, if that's your reasoning for the new tires I understand. I've always like Michelin so when it comes time that's what I'll go with

I just put Michelin Primacy MXM4's on my SV Sport, so 19's instead of 18's. They ran me about $1050 installed, but I think you could find them cheaper. They are super quiet compared to the RSAs and are supposed to be good in rain and lite snow as well.

I've used Continental DWS' & was very happy with that tire. I also like the Nitto Motivo's that I'm now using. Both of these tires are better all around than the RSA's that came with the car.

Totally agree that the rsa tires suck. I can't even drive it hard in the rain cause it slips. Dws are the best tires I have had...

Same here. I put Primacys on the Jaguar and liked them so much I put them on the Maxima when the OEM Goodyears wore down. Discount Tire has competitive pricing.

This is what I put on my car and very pleased so far. Got them at Pep Boy for $670 mounted, balanced and with full road hazard.

Discount tire direct via eBay is doing $100 off $400 through 8/20 plus free shipping. Picked up a set of 19" Conti DWSs for 692 shipped to my door.

Not a bad deal if you are in need of some new rubber.

good deal!

It says that the coupon is good for three times per user ID. I would try buying two tires at a time. It says it cannot be combined, but maybe with two separate transactions.

I placed two seperate orders back to back to receive the $200 off without issue. They combined the orders onto one invoice and shipped them out the same day.
