I'm getting new tires tomorrow,it's not safe driving on 4 slicks anymore with a ll this rain. hehe
Anyway i'm thinking of getting what i had before which is the Dunlop Sport A2+ cause it's buy 3 get 1 free. But i've been looking at Goodyear assurance triple tred and Bridgestone potenza G009's.
Anyone on here use any of these tires before? __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

I just picked up a set of Kuhmo EXSTA - ASX 225/50/16, so far they are great. Good performance, ride, noise and especially price. | | | | | 06-26-2006, 11:17 PM | #3 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

Tyler,
The ASX is an all-season. It's highly rated on Tire Rack and they've been working great on my wife's Bug. The Avon all-season is supposed to be a good tire too. | | | | | 06-27-2006, 02:22 AM | #5 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

I bought the Kumho ASX, too. Great value, great performer. I highly recommend it. Probably costs less than the others you mentioned, too. But you'll most likely have to go through Tire Rack which takes a couple days.

Kumho. They also have a newer model called the AST. In the stock size (225/50 ZR16) the ASX are $69 each and the AST are $60 each. The Avon Tech M550 A/S is $89. You should take a look at this: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...jsp?type=UHPAS | | | | | 06-27-2006, 04:39 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: WA STATE Posts: 129 |
Michelin Pilot is a great tire. | | | | | 06-27-2006, 04:48 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 |
The new contisportcontact extreme. It's a high rated all wetaher tire. I forget the price on them, but they are the tires I see on all the cars at the dealership. I got contisportcontacts and they are great. I can barely even hear my tires on the freeway. And since I switched I only fishtail when I want to. __________________

Just picked up a set of Kumhu ASX 205/60/15's myself. Wow, these tires are amazing. __________________  | | | | | 06-27-2006, 02:34 PM | #11 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |
I'm buying the Dunlop Sport A2+(205 60 15),it's buy 3 get 1 free and it's what i currently have on my car. I've had them for 3-4 years and have been happy with them. I have an appt after work today and the total is $397 for the tires and mount & balancing fee's and tire disposal. I wanted the Goodyear assurance triple tred but don't have the extra money right now,they wanted like $560 for the tires and it includes all the fees. I'll post pics later tonight,although they aren't that special. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

It cost about $200 for the Kumho's and $80 for the installation. __________________ | | | | | 06-27-2006, 07:55 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 |
