Time to buy new tires

MattP725

I think you will find better recos and better prices from the forum members but in my opinion 1200 is a pretty good price coming from the dealership. The thing I like about that is that if they happen to f-up a wheel, they can replace it without too much argument/hassle. I need tires and I'm really nervous about who I trust to do the install. Around me Costco has some really good prices on RE-11s and other tires but I worry that the nudnicks at the shop might scratch one of the 40th wheels.

I always get my tires from tire rack, over the years, their customer service has earned my loyalty.

They have recommended installers on their site, they'll even ship the tires straight there so you can just call the shop, show up and gt the new tires put on.

Luckily for us, one of the recommended installers in my area is a performance shop that we go to alot so we get our new tires shipped and put on there.

As far as what tires to get, like spohn said, it depends on how/what kind of driving you do and of course, budget. Top of the line street performance tires are RE-11s, PSS's, AD08s. One step down would be PS2s.

I have yet to hear a bad review on the Super Sports. They are well rounded tire, good in the wet and in the dry. They also have a pretty good wear rating. If you want more grip and a cheaper price check out the RS-3's from Hankook. You'll sacrifice wet grip and wear rating but they grip damn good. I hear a lot of good things about the Re-11s too, they're just priced to high for me.

You want an very experience person installing RE 11's. They have a very tuff/ stiff sidewall and can be hard to stretch on a wheel. The installer needs to be patience.
