Default Re: I need new tires, any recommendations?

"I saw from your other post about the Hankooks not being in stock. Honestly, these tires did not do well for my '6 coupe (stock size). The grip was awful when hitting curves hard as the traction control constantly kicked in."
I agree with the above. Mine came with the Hankooks (nearly new then), and they drive like snot on a glass doorknob.

Maybe they are OK on a warm weather only car, and a good deal for the money, but on my daily driven in all non-snow weather, I am not impressed. They are just about worn out with less than 20,000 miles. They will be replaced with Michelin Pilots soon.

I have never been sorry to spend the money on good Micheliins, car or truck. I cannot say that about various "cheaper" tires I have tried. The different sets of street compound (not super sticky high wear type) Michelin Pilots on the two daily driven / commuter sportscars I had before the Crossfire all lasted at least 40,000 miles and gripped well in all weather.

To me it makes sense to spend 25% more and get tires that last twice as long (and drive better).
