They are great performers, good ride, and quieter than the crap bridgestones that came on it. I have to agree with others, tires is an area to not go cheap, you get what you pay for. I paid 530 for two 245/40/19 invo's mounted and balanced on my G. As soon as the fronts wear out, they'll be getting two new invo's as well. I will continue to run these tires until I get rid of the car.

Where were you guys when I asked this same question, as well as searched? if you search, all the tire threads are about different sizes, not brands/makes.

Which Michelin Sports should I consider then?the Pilot Sport PS2? the regular Pilot Sport doesnt seem to be available in the stock rear size.

WOW! Everyone on here likes the Nitto tires, but how long will they last if their treadwear is a 220..It says that its a maximum performance tire..Does that mean that the tire will wear out faster? Even though its a summer tire?

Kumho tires

I just replaced my tires with 4 Kumho's. Tirerack.com would have been able to do it with a local installer for $813 installed, with shipping, my out the door price. But it would have taken 3 days for the tires to get here so I talked to discount tire, and they were willing to do it for $825 out the door that same day (about $100 off their web price).

Since I had a 3 inch lag screw in one of my tires, with the head sticking out about a 1/4", I went with discount tire. Amazing that the tire didn't blow, I got lucky.

The tires have been great. Versus the OEM tires that I had, the Kumhos are a more cushioned ride, but still grippy. I'm not a drag-racer so I appreciate the extra cushion, but I don't feel like I've sacrificed much, if any, performance.

I'm rollin on Yoko S.drives 245/35/19 F and 255/40/19 R on the stock Rays. awesome set for me, I've been thru the stockers (BLAH!) and some Nitto's 555's (til they stopped making factory sizes) and I loved the Nittos, until I tried out these Yoko's. The S.drive gives a slightly louder ride (very slight) than the nittos but the grip is much more solid. The sidewall flex is down without a huge sacrifice to our Friday night cruises comfort. I have less than 1k miles on em but I will rock these til they come out with NT05's with a 240+ wear life

Potenza RE760s is what I am looking at. 340 tread rating.

They are one of the best street tires I have ever driven on. But once they get real hot, they lose some bite.

HANKOOK TIRES!!

V12evo or S1evo

They are cheap also. I paid $220 for OEM RAY size installed in front and 240 for rear!

Maybe it's cheap cuz my friend knows the owner of the tire shop.

I had the michelin ps2. Best tires I ever had. The car handled like a dream and the ride was so quiet. They are expensive but well worth it.
