Advice for new tires on a 2008 Corolla?

[mva5580]

So I'm looking at getting new tires for my 08 Corolla and was hoping for a little feedback. Obviously price is a factor, and I would say the max I'm looking to spend is $75/tire. I have a Discount Tire which is really close to my house, and going on there showed me these at that price:

Are they ok? Or do you guys have a better recommendation on a place to buy from, where to have them installed, etc? Thank you very much.

Consumer Reports rate the Hankook Optimo H727 as a " Best Buy " and they

are only $4 more per tire.

Have a look at these.

Cool, thanks. I could handle 16 dollars more.

Curious, how did you even find those on the site? Because when I sort by 2008 Corolla S, those tires don't even come up as an option. did you just know to look for them, and are they definitely a tire that's ok for this particular car?

I put 2 Yokohama Avid T4's on my 05 a couple months ago, and put 2 more on a couple weeks ago. Grip is incredible, the ride is extremely smooth, and they are exceptionally quiet. If these other Yokohama's are anything like the Avids, go for them.

The Avid T4's have been discontinued (so I got the second pair cheap). If you can find some on closeout somewhere, they are definitely worth it.

If you go to Discount don't let them talk you into their Yokohama YK520. It's the worst set of tires I can remember. Got all of 32,000 out of them and this is on my wife's car. She drives slow and careful.
These are made for Discount only by Yokohama. They did give us a big discount on Hydroedges, but those are $102 each.

Get the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. One of the best all-season tires money can buy

Best part is they currently have a $70 rebate, so cost is reasonable considering the performance you get.

I bought my last two sets (4 tires each for 2 different vehicles) at my local Sam's club. They were both BF Goodrich. I priced checked, did a tiny bit of research and, then the most important, examined the tires with my own hands. They seemed, to me, to have the best prices with the least amount of haggle. You can even examine the actual set that they'll put on your car. I have been satisfied with both sets and the deals I got on them.
