Best Bang for Buck Tires
Re: Best Bang for Buck Tires
Yokohama ADVAN S.4. (Ultra High Performance All-Season)
$864 for the set at Tire Rack. For about the same price you can get the Contis, or Goodyear F1-AS. But these are rated the best out of the three.

The originals lasted for 37000Kms ( 23000Miles), so given the price of the Conti's, I bought Kuhmo's which were $420 rear and #350 front, and they lasted 15000Kms ( 9000miles).
I'm now trying Yokohama's which are $538 rear.

I'm a big fan of Falken FK452. I got the whole set (19's and 20's) for ~ $800 delivered.

I got a set of 4 Toyo Proxe 4 tires installed for $850. I had to haggle a little bit, but they were awesome. They are GREAT tires, great tread pattern, and ALL SEASON which is a must here in Michigan.
I previously had Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S and while they were good, they lasted ~12k miles and cost me $1200 out the door.
Yikes!!
I'll be sticking with the TOYO PROXE 4 from now on..

FP you have Generals on yours? I thought that I saw that somewhere. Like them? I have Conti's now & the back are almost gone the fronts are weather checked. I don't know how many miles they have on them, were on when I purchased it 14000 miles ago.

If I was a lot stronger I would have been able to throw the Conti's much further. I don't understand how not using Conti's is cheaping out? I like checking the reviews on discount tire .com I like a tire that holds the road and lasts a long time. I got really good wear from BFG G force KD's but am now running Yokohama Advan S4's and love them. I jumped a size up to 265 in the rears and 235's on the front on 8.5 and 9.5 width wheels. I had Nitto's INVO's and they were great until they got noisy with cupping and were bald in 10 months. I have also heard really good things about the Generals and tried to buy them but they didn't have the right sizes available for my wheels.
