Default What tires should I get???

Well the time has come to get new tires or so it seems... has anyone noticed just how crappy the stock tires are? I mean 140 tread wear is ridiculous.

I'm clueless as to what's a good tire...so if you guys could help me out I would appreciate it.

thanks!!!!

Mario.

Default I'll probably go with Potenza RE730s or SO-3s (depending on cash flow) next Spring.

Keep in mind that the better performing Summer tires will always wear relatively quickly but it's a trade off that's well worth it!

Default S03s are very nice!

I had Pilot SXs before. I could break them loose wet or dry. The S03s stick like glue by comparison. I can approach a corner much faster without the chance of overcooking it!

Much better in the rain as well...

They sing a bit more, but I don't mind that.

I also don't have to contend with snow... Do you?

Default Heard good things about the Kumho Supa Ecstas.. would have got them myself except

local dealers couldn't give a me a delivery time to suit.. went with Yokohamas and am very happy with them as well.

Jeez, How did I luck into the Pirelli P6000's on my car? The 2002's have Pilot Sports.

Stock tires are hated. Kumhos all the way.
