I suggest you compare other tires with the OEM's.

Check Tire Rack Here

This should give you a large assortment of brands/sizes to compare to the stockers....it also will allow you to check specs against one another.
Good Luck

Michelin PS2s are really nice, but major coin. Consistently better traction than stock (based on amount of SLIP light after changing) and they're supposed to have good life and a quiet ride.

Lots of choices that will last longer. Do a little research and get what works best for your driving style. A good all season like the nitto neogen may work better.

T1Rs are overrated...they aren't a bad tire by any means, but I (not trying to be pretentious) find that the younger crowd holds Toyo in the highest of regard as it is the only upgrade that have experience in terms of tires from stock and which it is better and thus they claim they are superb.
So yes they are good, but if you want the best, Michelin PS2s are probably it in terms of summer performance.
For those of you claiming T1 superiority, I respect your opinion, but try the same car out on either and I'll bet you'd be happier with the PS2s, if I had to be a bettin man.

Hi -

Actually - the Bridgestone's are decent tires...they are a bit noisy, but really pretty good. The Michelin PS2's are fantastic - but you'll hate them after about 7500-10,000 miles - they get real noisy, and get worse. You can't beat the tractor on dry or wet, but the noise will drive you crazy.

The T1R's are the best bang for the buck - they stay quiet, work REALLY well wet or dry - cost 1/2 of the PS2's - and unless your tracking or really canyon driving much - you wont know the difference, other that it being a nice quiet ride. The Falken 452's work well too - about the same price as the Toyo - but I'd buy the Toyo over them.

The only thing you need to really consider, is what sizes to get...stay stock or get a little more rubber.

Rick
