18" OEM replacements

So the Original Michelins are pretty much past the wear bars now... need new tires for the OEM rims. Am torn between 3 different tires (not going with the Michelins again, don't feel like spending $1k on tires for my stock rims). Do any of you have any experience with these?

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R ($949 shipped from TireRack)

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position with UNI-T ($865 from TR, and leaning towards these)

Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S ($766 from TR)

I personally havent used any of them... i heard p zero nero M&S sucks...

If you want to go cheaper, i've used Bridgestone Potenza RE750 and Kumho Ecsta SPT... they were great. They lasted longer, performs as well as stock Michelins... from those two... SPT > RE750

hope u find the right tires bro!

I have the P zero nero's. Not the M&S version but the summer only. Great ride on the highway. Sidewalls are a little soft for my likeing. I don't think they will last too long either as I have worn the tread markings from the middle of the rear tires already (about 3000 miles) and no I don't do alot of burn outs if any. The soft sideswalls will make me not buy these tires again.

I just put falken 452's on my oem 18s. $588 from DTD. Was $666 with the optional road hazard I like em so far, but they do have a more... "rounder" look to the sidewalls than the old OEM michs.

Dealer charged me around $90 for mount and balance, and $90 for 4 wheel alignment. Lot better than the $1487 they wanted to charged me for the whole thing with another set of OEMs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for all season tires? Tirerack reviews have me looking at the Eagle F1 all season. The Continental ContiExtremeContact also have good reviews and are a lot less expensive. Anyone have experience with these or any others?
