What Tire Should I Get

I am looking to replace my tires on my car. I have 245/35/19's up front, and 275/35/19's in back. I am looking for a good all around tire especially one that isn't loud

get the T1-R's or the S-03s

those seems to be the most popular and high performanced tires memebers here usually go for

S03's will get pretty loud after about 3/4 tread remaining.
they grip very well though. I use them on my car in
those exact sizes, it's starting to get a little noisy lately
but nothing like the RE750's my buddy was running on his
330CI. hahaha. holllycrap!!! sounded like a truck on
snow tires.

I love the Pilot Sport PS2's. Running them on my Volks right now.

Warning for those who recommend the Toyo's. I have heard good things about how they handle and sound. However, I bought my tires from a friend that owns a tire shop. I told him I wanted to order the T1-S or T1-R's. He refused. Him and everyone of the guys that work for him all said the same thing. They get WAY too many Toyo's back. Way more than any other tires. If I remember correctly he said they have a problem with a weak center wall or something. He said the car will start to shake and then the tire's will probably blow.

I'm pretty sold on the Pilot A/S for my climate (rainy Pacific NW) for improved handling and confidence. I was impressed when I replaced the OEM tires with Michelin's quality as well as our OEM rims. I got them at Costco and the guy mounting them did not need any weights to balance the wheels.

Check out "Avon" extreme performance tires - new euro kid on the block - was going over the ratings at tirerack and came across it. Better performance than Michelin PS at half the price, apparently...
