Default need new tires - what's the best bang for the buck...
I am totally stock with stock wheels and tires. Right now, I have P6000's and don't want them again. Without spending anymore money, what is the best tire to get. Thanks much!

Default do you ever need all season or do you live warm and dry?
I have michelin pilot sport all seasons and so far they are very good but a bit noisy at times on grooved concrete.

Default Best bang for the buck would probably be the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712s.
S-03s would be the best available high performance tire, but not the cheapest.

Default Falken GRB FK-451...
I'm about to replace my stock tires too, and the price is right at under $500 for (4) 235/45/17.

Default Falken Azenis ST115
High performance with quiet ride. Z-speed rated.

Got a low mileage set for sale if you want to try'em.
