What brand of P215/50R17 tires are you running?

Post by ronherfurth »

I'm going to need to replace my factory tires pretty son but can't decide what to get. Michelin Primacy MXV4 91H look good and have a 6 year 60,000 mile warranty but are pricy. I hate to settle for another set of the factory tires; Bridgestone Potenza RE92A.

Friends don't let friends, ride on RE92's... Peroid... Are you scared of a higher performance, but lower milage tire in any way? (What's the price on the Michies?)I would suggest the Kumho SPT or the Falken FK452 if you wern't... better performance keeps you and your peeps safe..

I like the Kumho line and they have very high ratings on TireRack. If you really like the Michelins, that is a common OEM tire for Honda also. I got a full set of MXM4 Pilot for my 2002 IS300 for $200 from our used tire guy. They were like new and still have the bar code stickers - less than half the price of new.Bridgestones I had wore out fast, Yokohama seem to have defects in their belts break internally and lumps form in the tire (i had THREE different Yoko's do this).
