Tires

[Southaurora]

Hello Folks

OEM Bridgestone tires (Turanza EL400) that came with the car new are 50% worn, with 15k miles on the car. Shortly I will have to replace them. Any suggestions on better tires?

Yokohamas?
Continental?
BFGoodrich?
Fuzion?

I personally upgraded my tires from the Michelin's that it came with, which I hated by the way. They were like $135 a piece to replace the same ones, I ended up going with Some Falken Ziex-512's 205/55r/16v's Great Tires, and they were like $90 about a piece.

Just my recommendation, they handle great, no squealing, and I can take some sharp turns no problem

Ugh, I hated the stock Brdigestones that came with the car. Traction sucked, wore out in 18,000 miles, and sqeeled when cornering.


I got new Michelin's. (forgot what model name) but they last pretty long with a good traction rating. Performance was WAY better in snow and dry climates. They look good too.

Is it a year round car? Will you keep the tires year round or go with a snow tire if so?

Those Falkens are great tires... I got a set for under 200... wait... but I'm still at stock size. 15's.
