I am looking for tires. I have seen on here before some opinions on the brigstone are not good and good vibs on michellin pilot. but what about sizes. I was thinking of going with a lower profile tire, a 45 instead of a 50 any body done this? and also what about a 235 instead of a 225. Thanks for your help

 

I have the pilots and love them, however, many people like the faulens just as much and they cost about half what the mich's cost. The last about 75% as long, so I guess a long run cost savings would be in the faulkens. Regardless, you'll love the way your max drives when you lose the craptenzas!

 

I just got some pilot sports too. Great tires. I was looking at these and the Bridgestone Potenza S-03s. The S-03's are supposedly even stickier than the pilots. A lot of people seem to love the Falken Ziex 512's on the org, which seems pretty contradictory to what they say. Everyone complains about a mushy sidewall with them too. This is going to affect your handling quite a bit. They also complain about having to rebalance them often and run them up around 40psi for decent handling. I think you are going to end up getting what you pay for. You could get lucky and like the cheaper tires, but I would just spend the money on a higher quality tire.

 

Falkens are great all season tires, if you rather go with 235/45/17 insteand of original many org members have recommended the Toyo Proxes 4

 

For all seasons tires IMO there only two choices .Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S or Toyo Proxy 4's.Can't go wrong with them.
