which tires are good with a decent price?help

hi h have 05 coupe and i had michelin pilot sport tires on all four..

Listen to your Dad....!

There are no better tires for the money than MICHELINS! There are two areas where you don't want to cut corners....tires and brakes. Your life
may depend on both, think about it! Bridgestones are junk in comparison....

Bridgestones are hardly junk.

Stick with OEM if you're unsure as to what you want.

Check out Yokahama S.drive if you can get by on summer tires. I did a lot of research and these perform well, wear well, look good, low noise and I was shocked at the price. Made in Japan. Not sure size you need or sizes they make, but take a look. #1 in category according to tire rack.

I'll need new tires for my 07 coupe soon and I'm leaning toward the Kumho Ecsta SPT. They are $721 shipped from Tire Rack for the set and the tire wear rating is very high. My factory Bridgestones haven't lasted long enough for my $.

What are your priorities?

PS2's are great tires and are probably the best all around tires you can get (great traction in dry and great traction in wet for performance tires). But they do cost an arm and leg.

The RE050A Pole Positions are also great tires.

There are many other alternatives. But it depends on what your priorities come down to.

Factory Bridgestones are made for performance, not for comfort or life. You do, after all, drive a sporty luxury vehicle.

Maybe you should consider some Kumho Ecsta MX or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Both have long time relative to their performance.

Thumbs up

The S-drives were my choice. They're real quiet and look great. I can't speak to their performance or longevity yet but they get great reviews and look great. We'll see... I paid $956.00 installed.
