Buying new tires any suggestions?
Hey guys, I'm about buy a set of new tires! My rear tires hankook ventus V2's side walls are sort of done.... mid section has probably a decent amount left.... front right tire apparently has a bubble and front left is fine just got it recently i believe... So any suggestions? Hankooks? Michellins? Cooper tires? Pirellis? I'm avoiding bridgestones cause my fronts are bridgestones...

Toyo T1 Sport. Man, after switching to aftermarket 19s I ran Toyo T1 Sport over the stock Continental DWS 18s and its a WHOLE world of a difference in terms of quietness and performance.

If you're looking at All-Seasons:
Conti ExtremeContact DWS
Michelin Pilot Sport AS3
Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2
General GMax AS03
^ Have heard nothing but good reviews from our customers

if you're riding crappy roads and getting bubbles, it doesn't really matter what tire you choose.
You need the best tire warranties you can get. Some tire dealers have hazard coverage.

If you don't need all season tire...like me...im in the south....
Michelin Pilot Super Sport all the way...way better than the Pilot Sport A/S 3 that I'm currently running. I had the PSS before these and I would have gone back with them but I need the tires ASAP and they only had two in stock...

Gotcha350 - I need all seasons cause i live in NYC it rains about half the time! Plus i need them for the winter... I drive like a grandma in the snow!
Pman6 - you have a point... living in NYC is pothole city! I never head a problem with my tires until my step mom came back from Connecticut !!!! I will definitely find a set with good warranty!
VMR - It was recent on these forums where a member had Conti DWS's where it wasn't wearing properly or something like that... trying to avoid it.... not sure if he had multiple problems but I think he said theyre discontinued...

i'm in Oklahoma and though we get hotter than hell during the summer months...we also can get to the low teens during winter months with light snows, freezing rain and ice. I guess that pretty much disqualifies me for anything other than "all-season" tires. I've got the Pilot Sport A/S 3's.....so what make the Super Sports that much better? Handling qualities, ride quality, road noise or what?? Honestly, these A/S 3's ride pretty smooth and quiet when I'm on a good surface...but the car itself is just much stiffer than I typically enjoy. I'm guessing it's just the suspension rather than the tire that creates the stiff ride.

I even drove in snow with them...wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...we get snow once a decade...so I take my chances...lol

The PSS gripped better in dry and wet, were way quieter even when the tread was almost gone, I didn't seem to do as much tramlining as the A/S 3. The PS2 were one of the best tires on the market and the PSS was better than the PS2....but I live in the south so I only have two season dry and wet....lol

Probably but it was worth it I think I got about 25-30k...idk what kind of life im going to get out these A/S 3s but the road noise is bad enough to where after I'm not looking for more than 30k out of them...I don't drive the car much anymore so i'll be lucky to get 30k before they rot...lol

Wow, that's interesting. Definitely going to have to look that up. I actually had a personal set of DWS wear improperly, though, I'm sure it was more due to my alignment/camber specs.
