Are you sure you don't have 225/45/18? That is the stock tire size for the manual transmission and sport AT models.

Were they for stock rims btw? |
^ They were a little over $700 for the set this past Spring from Town Fair if memory serves.
Yes, they were stock 225x45 as my plan is to install my rims on my daughter's Mazda6 when her snow tires come off next Spring and get myself some larger rims and 255x40 T1R's. I just love hand-me-down procurements. Win-win. ;) ^^ For all-weather/season I don't think you can beat Michelin Pilot Sport or Goodyear Eagle GT or F1. |

If your looking for a great deal on tires, check out onlinetires.com. They really are the lowest priced anywhere and their shipping rates are extremely low.
|
^^ yup yup. That's where I bought mine!

The Pep Boys buy 3 get 1 free sounds pretty good depending on cost of tire vs. competitors.
What are you getting OP? |

245/40 18 of coarse.. its a pretty good deal if you ask me.. its a brand new set! |

What are you getting OP? I'm leaning towards Toyo Proxes 4. They seem like the best bang for the buck. |

I have found that Pep Boys sometimes compensates by having higher prices than competitors, so the Buy 3, Get 1 Free isn't as great of a deal as it seems.

Kumho SPT's
No complaints for the street, but for the track, I am realy disapointed. By lap 3 at Willow, tires were squeeling like a pig and traction was gone. really twitchy. made several air pressure adjustments with little help when tires got hot. Tire Rack gives them high marks. ultra performance premiun.. guess not. two hundred miles on tires ...$50..each

I was running BFG g force and never had any road noise and they were good in the corners too. Thats what i would go with if i wasnt running the bridgestones i get for free

Anyone have thoughts on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus? I searched the board and not much for reviews.

Quick update, I'm still getting 18 mpg on the commute (still less than a handful of fillups, I'll keep checking it). Didn't really want to mess with the snows we've had in MD, but when I had to drive on it the tires were okay. Still love the nimble feeling that I have on dry or wet.
|
Just got some Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s for $1000 installed. Much better than the stock tires (obviously), but I've never purchased new tires before, so I have no comparison.
The RE-11s are great! |
all seasons for snow/ice/cold temps in MD
after considering the recommendations from TireRack (those guys really know their business) and the posts on this terrific site, I ordered and installed Dunlop SP Sport Signature tires, 225/18. I live in MD where we don't get deep snow but we just got slammed with 21 inches and lots of ice and now another small 2 inches this week. the tires grip very well on the frozen wet, and on cold road surface it sticks well too. i am very impressed with the Sport Signatures and recommend them.

Yea, I'll be replacing my tires soon. I'm going with the T1-R's. What's the size for the stock rims? 245/40 or 225/40 all around right? I think that's what most people on here go with.. Ah, I'm lost..

It depends on your true driving style... I got the general UHPs on sale from tire rack. Never hydroplaned, great wet traction and much much quieter than my OEM bridgestones.
Until that point I was very pleased. I then took them autocrossing. Lets just say that they sucked. Big Time. If you autocross or track your car with street tires, stay away. They have lasted a very long time with good tread wear. I got them for cheap, so you're good there... Honestly, it just depends on what you're looking for. |
