It seems to be a question of availability in Canada, if you are parked for the winter you can wait out and get a deal. I needed tires fairly quick this past fall, and went with Pilot A/S, alas I have not had chance to realy evaluate them. Stock size seems to be a problem, lots of tires available but not for our Crossfires. Make sure that the installer can mount your new tires onto the stock rims "WITHOUT DAMAGING" the rims,also if you need an alignment the same advice applies. My tires came in @ 2 grand, I didn't pay for the alignment due to the time it took, still fighting about the rims, good luck.

 

Two grand and they damaged the rims??? That is totally ridiculous. Good luck in getting justice with your rims.

 

I recently purchased the Needswings air intake and have the ASP pulley set on the way for my SRT6. Since having the air intake, I have trashed the rear tires (OEM Continental CWT95 All Season Touring). Those tires were OK, but didn't grip like I wanted. I found myself in a bind. I needed new rear tires that would get great traction, since I'll soon be putting about 375 hp to the wheels.

However, I didn't need new front tires, since the Conti's held up well in front ( they now have about 18,000 on them, both front and rear. I shopped around all the tires that have been recommended on this site, but I couldn't get over having two different brands and tread patterns on the car.

I finally found a Continental tire that has gotten awesome reviews on Tire Rack and purchased two for the rear. It's a good looking tire and will almost match the look of my stock front tires. It's the ContiSportContact 3 and is a very grippy Summer Max performance tire. I'll have them on by this weekend and I'll be able to comment more about them in the coming weeks.

 

I will be curious is you get the chance to evaluate the Pilot A/S as these are something that I was looking into as well. Thanks for the info.

 

I recently got the Nitto Invo's all around.
They really smooth out the ride, and are great on wet roads.
Outperform the Conti's while making for a much nicer ride.
They do, however, have a bit too much sidewall flex in the tight turns.

$716 + mounting for the four.

 

Not to be too negative, but I have owned them, and Pilot Sport A/S tires are WORTHLESS in the snow, and somewhat useless for dry traction. Great in the rain, though.

 

I lived in Seattle, WA for 6 years. I loved going up to Vancouver! If you cross the boarder, go to Discount Tire or Les Schwabb!

Also, I second the Khumo tires!! They are really excellent tires for the price and have been gaining popularity since they arrived. Best tires I ever put on my Mustang Cobra that I previously owned. I didn't ever worry about abusing them either because I could get two sets for the price of one set of comparative top brand tire.

 

I just invested in a set of Nitto Invo's and they are well worth it. I upgraded from 225's in the front to 255's and wnet from 255's to 285's in the rear and man does it look good . Also after talking to the guys at Rentech they highly recomend the Invo tire as well. They fit nicely on the rim, and at my shop they only had to balance one tire and the one they had to balance only required like and 1/8th of an ounce or something.

 

Post a pic if you have one or two!
