i got a set of bridgestone potneza's i cant remember the exact ones though i think they discontinued them. though they are very good in the rain. i also autocrossed on them and the tread is doing fairly good after about 7500 miles

I just picked up a tire at Sam's Club that is all weather and has nice tread on it. In fact I really didn't need that pattern cause we don't get snow where I live...

I have it in another thread with info on the brand and type. They are like $80.00 each after tax and mounting.. but mine were 13".

You can pull them up on SamsClub.com website. Sams Club has a great warranty for free tire fixes for flats and rotation for the life of the tires..

Im thinking about some all season Yokohamas. My buddy has told me some good stuff about em; after having them on his lude for like 50k. I want some tires that stick very well, wether its wet or dry. im gettin them mounted for free, and im not concerned with the sheduled rotation. i will do that myself.

Has anyone done buisness with Tire Rack?

you should get the tires i listed up above. it received VERY high ratings for both wet and dry and even did pretty decent for snow traction.

tire rack is one of the best places online to get your wheels/tires you can ever find.
i've done 3 major transactions with them so far (third one is being shipped right now).

i've ordered wheel/tire package as well as brake pads,rotors/shocks/struts/etc.

Yeah, the michelin pilot exalto a/s look like a nice tire...I'm riding BFG traction T/A's (rated fourth below the Pilots)and I really like them for the price except for the road noise...I see the pilots are rated excellent for road noise, I might go for them next time, the BFG are made by Michelin now anyway

tirerack is a great place to order from.. however if you get the road hazzard package, its not so nice as having a local place fix your tires for free..

vibebreaker · 03-05-2007, 04:22 PM

i thought you can go to one of the tire rack installers and utilize the road hazard package there? i could have sworn i heard (this morning, when i was having my whiteline rsb installed), the conversation between the mechanic and the customer that he didn't have to pay anything because of his road hazard package..

89yotarollagts · 03-05-2007, 04:53 PM

well every tire place has there own warrenty service... im not sure what tire rack does as far as dealing with a local shop.. ive never had to bring my tires in to be fixed

ae92redtop · 03-05-2007, 07:56 PM

What would the road hazard package actually provide?

89yotarollagts · 03-05-2007, 08:11 PM

lol u can read all the information on the site itself... if you get a flat tire or the tire becomes damaged in anyway, they will fix, or replace it for no additional charge.
