Performance? All-season? Race? Winter?

Check out tirerack.com. Some good cheap ones are Fuzion HRi, made by Bridgestone.

oh sorry about that,

I'm looking for All-Season tires. My car has 73k miles. so i just want some good tires that'll last.

At tire rack, it's giving me 5 options of tires.
High Performance All-Season
Performance All-Season
Grand Touring All-Season
Standard Touring All-Season
Passenger All-Season

Which one should I choose? Like whats the diff. between High performance, performance all season, and touring? I think passeger all-season is like stock tires.

I haven't tried these, but a lot of people here seem to like Yokohama Avid H4/V4.

Go with Yokohama Avid H4 or Avid V4. Hands down, liked them so much I have them on 5 of the family cars.

thoughthard · 11-10-2006, 07:11 PM

I agree, these are the best tires for the money. If you want to save some money, go with the Fuzions. I just put on some Kumho AST, but haven't pushed them hard yet. If you decide to buy Kumho, there's a $40 Secret Kumho Rebate

how about the Avid TRZ

hey are a standard touring tire. I don't race or anything so i think these are more for me. On tirecak.com they are ranked #1 in thier class and have great reviews.

After I buy the tires, how much do you think it will cost about to have them put on? Will they charge for balcncing.

triggerhappy007 · 11-11-2006, 12:57 PM

Yeah, go ahead and get those. The lowest price I've found to install tires is at Walmart or NTB. It costs about $14/ea for mounting and lifetime balancing.

JMSinMD · 11-11-2006, 03:15 PM

I actually just recently got those for my Dad's Camry because they no longer make the Avid H4's in a 195/70 14. I haven't really driven it so much after getting them but I have heard no complaints. Looking at the tread it seems like they would last a LONG time. Supposedly the sidewalls aren't as stiff so the ride won't be as sporty. I ordered from Tire Rack and then paid the shop $20 each for mounting/life of tire balancing/life of tire roadhazard. Anywhere between $20-$25 each for the aforementioned package is fair. Jon.

Got em on my truck, if they're priced like they are over here, you can't really go wrong.

Tyre brands are pretty subjective. So long as you don't put budgets on (mine had them on when I bought it, and they were terrifying), you're pretty much guaranteed to be ok.

Im very happy with my Toyo Proxes TPT tires. They stick well and are quiet. 400 treadwear rating. I've even autocrossed on them but it wears them out really fast! Call around to your local tire dealers for prices. HTH
