I hit a huge pot hole and now the tire has a bubble. Im planning to change all 4 tires..the ones on there are horrible. I researched but Im still haveing some trouble choosing. Heres a few I was considering...

Yokohama Avid V4S $91
Continental ContiExtremeContact $92
Bridgestone Potenza RE950 $105
Falken Ziex ZE-512 $88

tell me what you think about these and if there are any other better ones. Im looking for good performance all weather tires. Thanks.

 

i just got the falken ziex ze-512 and i like them. good try and wet traction and i hear the snow traction is good but there isnt any snow where i am. i was using continetal touring contact tires which were crap tires the previous owner had put on.

 

A lot of 5th gen people seem to like the Falkens. Anything else I should consider?

 

Anyone hear of hankook tires? Are they any good?

 

I decided im either going with the Bridgestone Potenza RE950s or the Falken Ziex ZE-512s. I just want to hear some opinions about both the tires...im not sure which ones to go with.

 

I just got 2 new Continental Extreme Contact and I think they are great. I have only put about 400 miles on them but they are much smoother and quieter than the Kumhos I had, and have nice grip. I have not had them in the rain or snow but the research I did suggested they are good in both those catagories. They are a good ballance between comfort and sport. I highly recommend them.

 

Anyone have good pics of the sidewalls of any of these tires?

 

I don't have pictures of the Continentals but the sidewall looks as if it has a tread on it. There is a patern on the sidewall that looks as though it has tire tracks through the snow carved out of it. Does that make any sense? It is not a smooth sidewall. It is cool looking, and gives an interesting reflection with tire shine on it. I will try to get a picture of it for you, give me a day or two.

 

I understand what you are saying. I have actually seen them in person on someones car and they looked really nice. I also have seen one Potenza tire at the junk yard...that looked nice also.

 

I have had the ContiExtremeContacts since Nov. and I love them; worked awesome in the N.E. snow, and I haven't heard a chirp from them under hard cornering. I have them on the stock 2k GLE 16" rims in the 225/50/16 size, I would buy them again in an instant!
