Default That's an open ended question

People here have everything from the stock Goodyears, Continentals, and Dunlops, on up to Bridgestone S02 PP's, Pirelli PZero's, Michellin MXX3's, etc.

Prices range from $85/tire for Dunlop SP8000's on up to around $200/tire for some of the ones I listed above. Determine your needs and budget, then we can give you some better feedback.<p>Regards,
Rodney

Default Toyo (summer) and Vredestein (winter)


Summer tires: Toyo Proxes T1+ 225/50x16 $125/each (special price - tire no longer available)

Winter tires: Vredestein Wintrac 205/55x16 $120 each

I recommend both brands for the kinds of tires that I bought.<p><b>Drew S.</b> <a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/" target="drewinva"><img src="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/images/98.5.jpg" border="0" align=center></a> <b>98.5 A4 2.8 qm</b>
