Tire Help

I just found a nice slash on my tire, I dunno if someone slashed it or its from a curb(I doubt it)...my tires are running their last season, they need replacing soon.

What all season or summer tires do you recommend?

I do a lot of city driving I dunno about pure summer tires, I have winters in the garage. I don't want anything that is bad, I tend to push the car a bit...

I'm looking for the same performance as I got out of the stock bridgestone tires which I have on now...

what do you recomment?

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. They are less expensive than the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's and they definitely outperform them. I have them on my 20's and they surprised the hell out of me the first time i went on a canyon run... they never let go, even in the hardest turns. and they'll outperform the stock bridgestones by miles and miles. If you're looking for something cheap then i'd go with a Kumho Ecsta AST.

Goodyear F1 GS-D3 are solid performing tires. Great wet and dry traction. I don't know about wear though.

It's "Falken"

You should go a little wider anyway. I would run a 235/50 or 225/50(or 55). The 235/50 will be almost the exact same diameter so is the closest.

++ 1 for the T1R's. They have great dry grip and awsome wet grip.

The tread looks great too.
