Need tire recommendation
 
Hi all. I'm currently looking to replace my OEM GoodYear RSA tires ( 205/50/R17 ). I looked at tirerack but all tires that are that size are either a bit expensive, have low ratings, or N/A at local stores. Any suggestions on a good and not too expensive tires? 10x
:rolleyes:

bfgoodrich gforce sport ($96)
i dont know what kind of winters you have but these are summer tires and are great in the rain.

No winter here in Cali. :blue:
Thanks. Will look them up ;)

Ive heard really good things about Kumho ASX, real sport tread and great all season tires

Just purchased the BFGoodrich gforce sport today. $500 out the door. They look great. Hopefully they perform the same way.

I have 500 miles on new Kumho ASX and they're great. Just got a foot of snow in Chicago burbs and they're pretty good. I think I'll like them a lot. Quiet, also.

I have Yokohama YK250's. About $118 each with a 60k mile treadwear warranty. Got them from discount tire as I've had good luck with them in the past.

Goodyear Eagle F1's.

Well, a bit pricey. I have 215/45 on the stock wheels now... they grip VERY well.

I looked at the F1s but although a bit too expensive no one had them. I was told from 2 differend places (one was GoodYear store) that they were nationwide backorder with no date as when they'll be available again. The BFGoodrich g-force sport seem to hold way better than the stock GoodYear Eagle RSA. Haven't tried them in the rain yet so no comment about that.

That's weird... I got mine off tirerack's closeout sale... got them for $88 each. Under $400 shipped for a set of 215/45. Try the Bridgestone S-03s for the stock size... they're on sale still I think.

The Stock GY Eagle RS-A's make anything look amazing. ;)

If you have driven more than one car with different kind of tires... you'd know the difference.
