Tires for a daily driver?

Revrent

I have been reading many of the threads trying to figure out what most of the drivers here are buying for tires. I am even more confused than when I started. I have a 2014 Roadster with the sport package. I would appreciate any advice on what new tires you recommend and where you bought them.

Thanks for the info and direction for a new first time 370 owner.

God bless
John

Bridgestone S04. use 285/35/19 for the rear.

I am also looking at the s-04 285/35/19 for the rear, with the 265/35/19 in the front. I just wanted to check in for some opinions before I shipped them. All the threads I see make me believe they will fit fine on sport rays for DD

When I bought my 2014 Z, I ditched the OEM RE050A's and put on the S-04s when the car had 5 miles on it. The S-04's were quieter than the OEM, and this early spring has demonstrated far better wet-road performance. As to dry road performance....I'm not a good enough driver to make use of any performance advantage of the PSS either. They would have been a complete waste of money for me.

Went 265/35zr19 & 285/35zr19 in S-04 PP, fit no problem and without rubbing being lowered on swift springs. Over these tiny speed bumps at the local grocery store I heard the little black plastic parts that hang down under the front bumper scrape. Front must be a little lower now

I am happy

just had s04's installed on my sport wheels, went with stock front size and 285/35/19 rears based on kenchan's advice. looks and drives great!

It depends on what weather your car is operated in, your budget, what you want to do with the car, and then there is brand preference.

If I could make an educated guess by the small amount of information available to me, you could get away with a dedicated summer tire.

There are multitudes of a place to buy tires. There are local ones if you do not wish to be hassled by shipping and arranging the mounting and balancing. I could suggest Discount Tire, but that's just because I have had a good experience with them and my wheel and tire guy works at a local one. I'm sure someone will say that it's no good; the same scenario will apply to other venues.

One online place I use is Tire Rack. Their website allows me to select and filter tires by category. I can read reviews and tests there and they carry a wide selection of tire brands. I have used TR prices to bargain the price at my local DT store; my wheel and tire guy is fully aware of this.

So, I suggest a bit more research and then come up with a few tires; some of us here can help with pinpointing or giving opinions.

I think the op isn't really into tires and he was okay with the ones that came with the car.
that said, the S04 is better than the RE050's in terms of grip wet or dry while maintaining the bridgestone goodness.
it would be a safe step up from stock.

now if one was looking for great tires for spirited driving, i would suggest none other than RE11's.

Tire rack. No state tax, great service and now they are offering free road hazard with all purchases.

Here we go again!

PS: Daily Driver.....all season tires.

kenchan

all seaons = no season

all season tires are okay on suv's sedans, minivans, station wagons, wheel barrow, etc.
